Two fishermen were rescued on Monday morning (16 January) after their vessel sank off Tory Island in Co Donegal.
A multi-agency rescue operation was launched after a Mayday signal from the 36-foot crabbing boat shortly before 6am on Monday.
However, another fishing vessel, the Ave Maria, was first on the scene and its crew recovered the two men from a life raft.
