Coast guard involved in major search underway for missing person on Lough Ree
A major search is underway on a Midlands lake for a missing person.
The operation began yesterday evening after the person failed to return ashore after jet-skiing on Lough Ree, which borders Westmeath and Longford.
The search involved sub-aqua clubs, civil defence, RNLI crews and the Irish Coast Guard Helicopter.
The coast guard stood down the search late last night, but it's expected to resume this morning.
