Three people were rescued from a fishing boat that sank in Inishowen.
Lough Swilly RNLI responded to a call from Malin Head Coast Guard to assist a sinking fishing vessel near Glengad. The call came at 8:07 this morning and an all-weather lifeboat was launched.
"The three casualties were recovered from a life raft by a nearby fishing boat and transferred to Greencastle Coast Guard Delta and brought to Bunagee Pier, where they were assessed by an ambulance crew on scene," Lough Swilly RNLI shared.
The all-weather lifeboat was stood down and returned to Buncrana to refuel.
The rescue was the second call out in fourteen hours for the crew, who were also tasked by Malin Head Coastguard yesterday at 6.16pm to help locate a missing kayaker in the Kinnagoe Bay area.
The all-weather lifeboat was returning from Killybegs and was quickly diverted to the kayaker’s last known location. At 6:40pm, Malin Head Coast Guard issued an update that the casualty had made contact.
