Malin Head Coast Guard coordination centre is coordinating the search in the Donegal Bay area, with Coast Guard "air and sea assets", RNLI units and other boats. Previously, Roisin McBride, from the Irish Coast Guard, said the rescue coordination centre in Malin Head had started an extensive search of the area after a fishing vessel "had run aground with its engine still running". A RNLI spokeswoman had said lifeboats from Sligo Bay and Bundoran were requested by the Irish Coast Guard "to divert from a routine training exercise" on Thursday night. She said that followed a report from a member of the public who raised the alarm after spotting a boat aground with its engine still running off Cliffoney Beach.
