The wreckage from the Irish Coastguard Helicopter which crashed last month has been recovered from the sea.

Divers recovered the stricken Rescue 116 chopper from the waters off the Mayo coast.

However, the two missing crewmen who were on the helicopter have yet to be located.

Searchers say they won't give up on finding Ciaran Smith and Paul Ormsby, who were part of the 4-person crew who were tasked to assist in another mission before losing contact.

Weather conditions have severely hampered search efforts over the past few days.
