The Coast Guard was tasked at 3.15pm on Monday Photo: Killybegs Coast Guard on Facebook
Killybegs Coast Guard has assisted a broken-down vessel in Inver Bay.
The Coast Guard was tasked at 3.15pm on Monday and the vessel was towed back to Killybegs harbour for repairs.
Killybegs Coast Guard is reminding anyone going to sea in vessels that were not used over the winter months to have their engines serviced by a registered engineer and where possible carry an auxiliary engine.

“With the good weather finally here people are putting their vessels out to sea for the first time this season.”
The Coast Guard said that the importance of fully serviced life jackets, VHF radios and a fully charged mobile phone ensured that the people on board the vessel had a means of calling for help before they got into difficulty.
“With more people taking part in outdoor activities during the good weather, Killybegs Coast Guard remind people if they see anyone in trouble at sea or near the coast to call 999/112 immediately and ask for the Coast Guard."
