Police are asking for anyone who finds debris that they suspect could be from the capsized boat "Francie", not to take it, but to report this to immediately to Police.
 
Anyone who has already taken debris or items washed ashore that could be from the boat, is asked to contact Police immediately.
 
The search for the remaining missing person has been stood down for the day due to poor weather conditions. 
 
Searchers will resume their efforts tomorrow morning around 5.30am.
 
The family of Mr William McNatty have also provided Police with a photo. Media are respectfully asked to use this picture in place of any other. 
 
The names of the remaining victims are expected to be released tomorrow afternoon.
