The Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard carried out its 100th call of the year and thankfully it had a good outcome.
It played out as a member of the public got cut off by the tide at Sandymount Beach.
Two jeeps, Rescue 116 and the RNLI Dun Laoghaire lifeboat were called out to attend to the person in danger, and they were found in waist deep water.
They were quickly rescued thanks to the brave members of the coast guard and RNLI, and thankfully did not need any medical attention.
