Coastguard - Search under way off Cork coast

Local boats have been searching for a fisherman missing off the west Cork coast.

The Egyptian man, who is in his 30s, fell overboard from an Irish fishing vessel on Saturday morning.

Valentia coastguard says the LE Emer, which had been taking part in the search, has now left the area and none of its units will be searching today.
