Two people rescued after separate falls from cliffs
A multi-agency operation was launched after a person fell from a cliff in Bundoran, Co Donegal. The alarm was raised shortly after 7am when a member of the public heard calls for help and contacted the emergency services. Bundoran RNLI volunteers found the casualty at the base of the cliff having landed on the rocks. An RNLI crew on the scene recovered the casualty to the beach where the Sligo-based Coast Guard helicopter, Rescue 11 landed to assist. The casualty was then stabilised and airlifted by Rescue 118 before being transferred to Sligo General hospital for further treatment. Bundoran RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager, Daimon Fergus, said: "We are grateful to the member of the public who raised the alarm this morning. "This was a challenging situation, and thanks to the swift response and teamwork between all agencies, the casualty was reached quickly and is now receiving the medical care they need. "We wish them a full recovery." In a separate incident last night, a man in his 20s fell from a cliff in Lahinch, Co Clare. The alarm was raised at 10.15pm and the Coast Guard was assisted by gardaí, the fire service and ambulance service in the rescue. The Shannon-based Rescue 115 helicopter attended the scene along with the Doolin Coastguard Unit. The Coastguard said it was a difficult rescue as the man had fallen into an inaccessible area and initially the fire service could not reach him. The man suffered a lower leg injury, and his injuries are understood to be non-life threatening. He is being treated at Galway University Hospital.
