A BODY HAS been found in the search off the Wexford coast for a man who was last seen on Sunday evening.
The search was being conducted by the Courtown RNLI Lifeboat, the Dublin-based Coast Guard helicopter and the Coast Guard unit.
The search was being carried out for a 33-year-old man said to be from the Myshall area in Carlow.
The search began yesterday morning at about 4.30am after the man’s car was found abandoned on the south pier in Courtown. His family had also contacted authorities.
Weather conditions hampered the search teams yesterday, with the search beginning in the morning before it was stood down at 11am.
The search resumed again yesterday evening at low water and Sam Kennedy of Courtown RNLI said that crews continued to search while light was still available.
Weather conditions were reported to be more favourable this morning.
Gardaí were also involved in the search.

It’s a tough old world out there great initiative by The Mental services to address this at the core of the problem durning the ploughing championship
It’s sad to see only one comment on this issue, yet when farmers try to stand up for themselves in this country, the comment section lights up with negative comments towards them. When did we stop caring about others.
We have all fallen foul of the divisions, you are very very right. We should check ourselves.
@martina. I don’t believe it’s anti-farmer sentiment or disrespect it’s just that many urban dwellers are sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, cousins of those that left/stayed on the land and are included in the stats in the headline under ‘farmers family members’ and is therefore information already known by them. Firsthand.
Totally agree

Let me see if I understand you: Someone’s prejudice is my stigma? I assure you it is not.
No matter how many times you repeat it, no one’s prejudice is someone else’s “stigma.”
have your say
