Navy not ordered to raise boat which may hold skipper's body
Marine Minster Pat ‘the Cope’ Gallagher tonight refused to order the Navy to raise a sunken fishing boat from the sea bed off Wexford in the search for the body of a missing fisherman.
Almost three weeks since the Rising Sun suddenly capsized off the Great Saltee Island, the family of skipper Pat Colfer appealed for officials to intervene in the hope his body is still on board.
