A search for a body in Strangford Lough, County Down, has resumed, Belfast Coastguard has said. | |

John Hope of Belfast Coastguard said Tuesday's search was likely to focus on the area around Audley's Point. | |
"Given the high possibility that someone may have been in the water last night we will be redeploying the teams again," he said. | |
He said that in the morning there was "slack water" and that since the tide will have ebbed there was a better chance of getting further out onto rocks in the area. |
