The Irish Naval Service has sent the LÉ George Bernard Shaw to the scene of a stricken trawler off the West Cork coast after efforts to tow it to shore earlier were disrupted by waves of up to 10m in height.
The Ellie Adhamh, with a crew of seven on board, called for assistance at around 7am this morning after it lost engine power some 100km off the coast.
