Search for missing Rescue Helicopter 116 continues today
Poor weather around Blacksod Bay in recent days has prevented boats from getting near the site where a signal from the black box was detected
The Irish Lights ship, the Granuaile, is due to arrive at Blacksod Bay shortly, bringing with it hi-tech equipment to search the suspected crash site for Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 116.
The specialist ship has spent the last two days being fitted out in Galway to assist in the search, as rescuers try to take advantage of a weather 'window' later this afternoon.
Captain Dara Fitzpatrick was laid to rest yesterday while her colleagues Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith are still missing.
The Coast Guard's Declan Geoghegan says more specialist equipment will be used as part of today's efforts.
