Search teams are assessing weather conditions around now in the effort to find a man missing in Lough Ree.

Daryl Burke (27) from Co. Armagh was among those on board a boat which sank in rough weather almost two weeks ago.

The boat itself was recovered yesterday evening - lying in 5 metres of water in the Ballybay area of the lake in Co. Westmeath.

Garda and Naval divers are hoping to search the area this morning.

Mr. Burke was part of a group of three from a Co. Armagh angling club that got into difficulty on the lake.

David Warnock (27) who was rescued from the water died in hospital, while John Trimble is recovering from his injuries.
