Search continues for surfer missing off Cork coast

A land and sea search is continuing in west Cork this morning amid fears that a surfer may be missing in the area.

The alarm was raised yesterday after passers-by claimed they saw the man in difficulty off Inchydoney in Clonakilty Bay.

A search was immediately mounted, but rescuers have so far found no trace of the surfer.

Two Coastguard units are involved in the operation and the Coastguard helicopter from Waterford is also being drafted in this morning.
