The Irish Coast Guard emergency operations centre received a call from Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) control room this afternoon that a male in his 30's had fallen off the cliff path on Howth Head.
The Irish Coast Guard Cliff Rescue team from Howth along with Howth lifeboat were tasked. The Irish Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue 117 from Waterford was also tasked but stood down on route. DFB also tasked a Fire unit and an Ambulance to the call.
A Coast Guard team located the casualty who had fallen 4 meters off the Cliff Path near Drumleck Point.
