Major search underway after woman and baby fall overboard

A major air and sea search operation is underway after a baby and a woman fell overboard a Stena Line Ferry in Belfast Lough.

The alarm was raised at around 6.30 this evening, as the vessel made its way into Belfast port from Cairnryan.

The woman, believed to be the infant's mother, was rescued and is now receiving treatment in hospital.

But the baby, who is believed to be just a few days old, is still missing.

All Stena Line sailings to and from Belfast have been cancelled and Belfast Port has been closed, while the search operation continues.
