At 03.01 this morning local Gardai requested the assistance of Howth Coast Guard to help locate a distressed person who had rung them looking for assistance. From the given description of the area that the person said they were in, the CG unit of 19 volunteers proceeded to the Deerpark hotel area near Howth harbour and commenced a search of the wooded area behind the hotel with three ground teams. Gardai and CG kept on the phone to her and assured her while the CG members searched.

One of the ground teams located the person after a short time in an elevated forest section behind the hotel. The person was brought back to the car park and after medical assessment was handed over to the care of the Gardai. The team stood down at 04.10
