It’s hoped a change in weather conditions will assist in the search for missing Rescue helicopter 116 off the Mayo coast.

Captain Dara Fitzpatrick was laid to rest yesterday while her colleagues Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith are still missing.

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.
