The two men missing out of skerries were found in the early hours of this morning. Its very very sad but now they can be layed to rest properly. RIP

The bodies of the two fishermen missing off the north Co Dublin coast for over a week have been found.

The two men had not been seen since attending to their lobster pots on 1 April.

Ronan Browne, 26, and David Gilsenan, 41, were reported missing last Friday after they left Skerries to check lobster pots but failed to return to the harbour.

A significant search operation has been carried out since then.

At 1.40am, a fishing vessel - the Guiding Light - discovered the bodies of the two men trapped together in its fishing gear.

The discovery was made five miles east of Clogherhead, Co Louth, and the RNLI all-weather life boat was on scene within half an hour and brought the bodies of the two men ashore.

at least there is some closure for the men's familys.

may they rest in peace.
