A search for a 78-year-old fisherman who has been missing on Lough Mask since last Friday has resumed.

It is thought the man encountered difficulties while trying to negotiate a section of the lake on Friday afternoon.

While the effort was hampered by poor weather over the weekend, a search of the waters resumed this morning.

Members of the Garda Sub Aqua unit are involved along with local volunteers.
