THE SEARCH FOR a man who got into difficulty off the coast of Howth, Dublin, yesterday evening has been stood down this morning.
A search was launched by the Coast Guard and local lifeboat crew just after 7pm yesterday evening when a woman reported seeing a man jump into the water at Balscadden Bay.
Crews resumed the search at 6am this morning with the Coast Guard helicopter also involved but a spokesperson told TheJournal.ie that this was stood down at around 8am.
“There’s only so far you can go, they didn’t find anything when they searched at low tide and there was nothing found by the lifeboat, the Coast Guard unit or the helicopter,” they said.
It is understood that a garda dive unit will now be called in to take over.

Ulster looked a lot better tonight. They’re obviously far from the finished product but it’s a positive sign that they can string together more than five consecutive phases in attack. That young academy scrum-half Conor McKee was very good and his kicking from the base of the ruck was very accurate all match. Stewart Moore was excellent at fullback again and set the platform the Ulster backs by winning the contest in the air from kicks excellently. I cannot be stated enough how much Ulster needed this win. After losing 8 out their last 10 matches, it was crucial that they got any sort of victory tonight to keep their chances of making the URC knockout stages alive and they managed to do that. Even though I’m a Leinster supporter, I’ll still cheer for Ulster whenever they play anyone else.
Ireland needs to step up and step up and invest all the apple money into the Ukraine war effort. Time to stop being such pansies and fight:
@Basildon Joe: for a moment I thought you were going to suggest invest in Ulster rugby
@You Cant Be Serious: is Joe really English ? They seemed to be a bit smarter than that when I lived there.
@Basildon Joe: Time to accept that supporting Ukraine properly will have a cost and the Apple money isn’t done sort of endless free well of money. I’m happy to pay it but are you?
@Basildon Joe: So keen to send Irish kids to Ukraine to die why not do us a favour and head there yourself? Hopefully the Russians do us a favour
