Rescuers in the North have resumed their search around the wreckage of the Tullaghmurray Lass off the coast of Co Down amid speculation that the bodies of the crew may still be inside the sunken trawler.

A 10-year-old boy, his 33-year-old father and 54-year-old grandfather, all called Michael Greene, are believed to have drowned when the trawler sank during a fishing trip off Kilkeel in February.

The wreckage was discovered in 130ft of water seven miles off the Co Down coast on March 21st and divers believe at least one of the bodies may still be inside. Investigators are also examining the boat to discover if it sank as a result of a collision with a larger vessel.
