‘’Conditions were hampered by big sea swells during the Spring high tide. Shoreline search efforts were conducted. The Police Dive Unit was activated. Despite an extensive air, sea and shoreline search there remains no sign of the person,’’ she added.

Silverstone said that no one has come forward to report any person missing that may be related to this incident.

A Police Dive Unit will continue in an ongoing search and Police are investigating.
