Donegal fisherman recovered off north west coast named locally as Kevin McCloskey

Tributes are being paid to the fisherman, whose body has been recovered off the north-west coast.

He’s been named as Kevin McCloskey from Killybegs.

The crew of a local fishing boat found his body off Teelin on the Donegal coast shortly before 6 p.m. yesterday evening.

A multi-agency search operation was launched on Thursday evening, after a member of the public noticed an abandoned boat with its engine still running.
