#MISSING FISHERMAN - Search teams combing the coast off Valentia Island for a missing fisherman have this afternoon found the body of a man, according to the Irish Examiner.
A major search operation was launched last night after the 32-year-old angler slipped and fell into the water while fishing with a group of seven at Culloo Rock off the Co Kerry island.
Garda and Naval Service divers this afternoon joined the search, which resumed at 6am headed by the Valentia lifeboat and Kingstown coastguard unit, with assistance from the Waterford-based Irish Coast Guard rescue helicopter.
The body recovered by divers has not yet been identified.
Lifeboat operations manager Richard Foran said the area is notorious for people losing lives, as the Belfast Telegraph reports.
"It's a fantastic fishing, spot but the problem is it is exposed to the Atlantic," he said.
