Oil leak delays search for missing fisherman

The family of a missing fisherman whose boat suddenly capsized off the Wexford coast will have to wait until the weekend for navy dive teams to complete their search, it emerged today.

Sean Crowe, Sinn Féin TD, claimed in the Dail an exclusion zone had been set up off the Great Saltee Island with local divers warned they may be prosecuted if they tried to reach the boat, believed to be the Rising Sun.
