An extensive search coordinated by the Irish Coast Guard for a missing fisherman in Donegal Bay has ended with the recovery of a body off Teelin on the Donegal Coast.

A local fishing vessel involved in the search made the discovery just before 6pm on Saturday.

The search concluded after three days of intensive searching coordinated by the Coast Guard at Malin Head Maritime Rescue Sub Centre.

The Coast Guard said it extends its sympathy to the family at this time of sadness and thanked all the search units and local fishing vessels, An Garda Síochána along with the community for their support throughout the search.
