A body has been found in the search for a missing person after a boat sank in Carlingford Lough.
The Department of Transport said the coast guard received a report the vessel was in trouble near Greencastle Point, Co Down, shortly after 12.30pm on Tuesday.
One person was recovered from the vessel by a local boat and transferred to the care of HSE paramedics at Greenore harbour.
A search had been ongoing to recover a second person.
On Wednesday the PSNI confirmed the body of a man had been located.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a post-mortem examination is due to take place.
Following the incident in the early hours of Tuesday, an RNLI lifeboat from Kilkeel and the Greenore Irish Coast Guard boat were sent, along with coast guard rescue teams from Newcastle and Kilkeel.
