The search continues for one of the two-man crew of a Donegal lobster boat that sank off the Inishowen peninsula yesterday morning.
The Irish Times reports that the body of 65-year-old Edward Doherty was recovered from the sea yesterday. His nephew, 41-year-old Robert McLaughlin, was still missing last night when the search was suspended due to bad weather.
The pair's vessel, the 26ft Jennifer, was retrieved by divers south of Malin Head, close to Glengad pier.
In a tragic mirror of the weekend's rescue of two young fishermen off the Co Mayo coast, it's believed that Doherty and McLaughlin had similarly cast off to check on pots.
Malin Head marine rescue centre dispatched the Irish Coast Guard's Sligo-based Sikorsky search-and-rescue helicopter and the RNLI's Lough Swilly and Portrush all-weather lifeboats when the alarm was raised early yesterday.
Some 20 local vessels also joined the search, though they were impeded by heavy rain and choppy seas.
The Marine Casualty Investigation Board is expected to investigate the incident, which is the second in the area in less than three years.
