Incident 38/15
Last night while en route back to Howth harbour after visiting the Mexican Tall ship in Dublin port the crew of Howth CG gave assistance to four swimmers at Balscadden. They were in an area which was going to be difficult to return to the car park without putting themselves at risk on the dangerous access cliff path. There had been a faller at that location earlier in the week.
One of them was suffering with mild hypothermia and was treated on scene. Incident 38/15 |
