On Friday 31st of July, Howth were tasked to assist in the recovery of a dog on the cliffs. As the team were assembling it was stood down after the dog had got itself out of trouble.

On Sunday Howth were tasked to a report of a jetski doing dangerous manoeuvres around the harbour and in close proximity to swimmers on Claremont beach. A member of the unit spoke to the person concerned and pointed out the correct procedures when in and around members of the public and the harbour.

Today, Monday, Howth were tasked to a report from a member of the public that there were two people on a sandbank off Malahide that appeared to be cut off. As members of the unit arrived to check the situation the two people made their way off the sandbank safely.

Incidents 51/15, 52/15 and 53/15
