Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Michelle Gildernew, MP MLA, has extended her deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Martin Wylie who drowned in Lough Neagh.
Minister Gildernew said: “I wish to extend sympathy to the family and friends of Martin Wylie. This is a sad and tragic loss of life, especially at this time of year and in a rural community which is so closely knit and where Mr Wylie was well known.
I commend the efforts of the Lough Neagh Rescue team and the many local fishermen and members of the community who took part in the search. I realise that this was a traumatic and emotional ordeal for all those involved.”
