A multi-agency search for a fisherman missing off the coast of Mullaghmore, Co Sligo has resumed.
A member of the public alerted the Malin Head coordination centre on Thursday evening after they found an abandoned boat that had run aground, about 4km south of Mullaghmore Head.
It is believed that the fisherman fell overboard from the vessel as the engine was still running when the vessel was discovered.
The search coordinated by the Malin Head Coast Guard is concentrating on the area off Mullaghmore and out into Donegal Bay.
Gardaí are also assisting the Coast Guard in the search operation.
The extensive search is being conducted by Sligo based Coast Guard helicopter R118, Dublin-based Coast Guard helicopter R116, Killybegs Coast Guard Unit, and RNLI lifeboats from Bundoran, Árainn Mhór, An Baile Glas and Sligo along with a merchant vessel and several local vessels.
