New York Times journalists have been in Northern Ireland to investigate a recent incident where a trawler was thought to have been snagged by a submarine in Manx waters.
The Down News reported that the US crew arrived in Ardglass yesterday (Tuesday, April 21st) to talk to skipper of the Karen, Paul Murphy, who is adamant his vessel became snagged with a submarine.
It almost capsized the vessel and caused damage estimated to be in the region of £50,000.
No country so far has owned up to having any sub which may have been in the area.
Director of Information for the Celtic League on the Island, Bernard Moffatt, says they've campaigned against such sub activity for years.
He believes in this latest incident there may now be enough pressure to get some answers:
