Fresh efforts on Rescue 116 recovery begin this morning

Fresh efforts will get underway this morning to locate the bodies of missing Rescue 116 crewmen Paul Ormsby and Ciaran Smith.

The Garda Water Unit is working with a specially adapted fishing vessel near Blackrock Island off the north Mayo coast.

The Coastguard helicopter crashed into the sea after hitting the island during an operation earlier this year.

The bodies of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick and Mark Duffy were recovered – but no trace has been found of the other crew members.
