Police said today the body was recovered yesterday afternoon by the Police National Dive squad near the wreckage of the Wendy J, during the ongoing search for Jay Cairney (43) and Kieran Lynch (22). "A search of other areas of interest around the bay has failed to locate the second missing man," Sgt Tailby said. "Sadly, police have reached the point where the search has exhausted these areas without any sign of the missing man." However, the dive squad would attempt to complete their search today depending on the weather. "There may be a brief opportunity this morning to get the dive squad in there, but it is supposed to change again," Snr Sgt Watson said.
