Bodies of missing fishermen are recovered

Bodies of missing fishermen are recovered

The bodies of two fishermen have been found off the County Louth coast.

Ronan Browne, 26, and 41-year-old David Gilsenan had disappeared while checking lobster pots last Friday (April 1).

The men had been at sea in a 17ft. open boat and it’s believed the vessel may have capsized in bad weather.

An extensive search operation for the men, who are from Skerries, had been carried out.

Their bodies were recovered after becoming entangled in the fishing gear of a boat off Clogherhead during the early hours of Saturday (April 9). The men’s boat  had been found overturned in the same area a week ago.

Both victims were married. Mr. Gilsenan was a father-of-two.
