The body of a fisherman has been recovered from Carlingford Lough after a search involving coastguard units from both sides of the border, along with local search and rescue teams.<\/p>\n
The alarm was raised shortly after 12.30pm yesterday afternoon when the Coast Guard received a report that a vessel was in difficulty near Greencastle Point in Co Down.<\/p>\n
It is understood two men from a local fishing boat were working the waters off Greencastle when their boat sank.<\/p>\n
One man was rescued from the vessel and was transferred to the care of HSE paramedics at Greenore Harbour in Co Louth.<\/p>\n
The body of the second man was recovered last night and the search was stood down.<\/p>\n
An RNLI lifeboat from Kilkeel and the Greenore Irish Coast Guard boat had been sent, along with Coast Guard rescue teams from Newcastle and Kilkeel.<\/p>\n
The Irish Coast Guard’s Rescue 116 helicopter took part in the search and a Royal Navy helicopter assisted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The body of a fisherman has been recovered from Carlingford Lough after a search involving coastguard units from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":480673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-480672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
