Special fund set up for families of missing Waterford fishermen

A special fund has been set up to raise money for the families of the five fishermen lost at sea following the sinking of the Pere Charles off the coast of Co Wexford last week.

The fishing trawler sank off Hook Head amid stormy conditions, claiming the lives of crewmen Tom Hennessy, Pat Hennessy, Pat Coady, Andriy Dyrin and Billy O'Connor.
