The body of a Fermanagh man has been found after a boat capsized on Lough Erne on Friday evening.
20-year-old Lee Rodgers was with friends when their boat got into trouble yesterday.
Six people were on board the vessel when it sank, with five making it to shore safely, when the incident happened near Portora Boat Club on Lough Erne.
It is believed Mr Rodgers was not wearing a life jacket at the time.
Two RNLI lifeboats lead the search effort with a police helicopter and a Sligo Coastguard helicopter aiding their efforts.
Emergency services were contacted just after 6pm by a member of the public who saw the vessel in jeapordy.
Search efforts were diminished on Friday night due to fading light but resumed on Saturday, when the body of Mr Rodgers was recovered.
Distraught family and friends of the young man have stayed at the shore of the lough during the search.
