Search resumes for fisherman missing off Sligo coast

The search for a missing fisherman off the coast of Sligo has resumed.

A member of the public raised the alarm on Thursday evening, after noticing an abandoned boat with its engine still running.

The multi-agency operation is centred on the Mullaghmore/Donegal Bay area.

Two Coastguard helicopters are involved, as well as the RNLI and local volunteers.

Gardaí in Killybegs are urging landowners in coastal areas to assist in the search operation and to report anything to them.
