Fishing tragedy: Trawler 'not seaworthy'

A fishing trawler which sank off the Co Wexford coast drowning members of three generations of a family was not seaworthy, overloaded and unstable, a report published today revealed.

The 26ft Pisces was not carrying enough lifesaving equipment and would not have qualified for a passenger boat licence when it sank last year, drowning four men and a teenage boy.
