Four people were rescued from an island off the coast of Sligo after their boat washed up on rocks on Sunday afternoon.
Bundoran RNLI were summoned to help the stricken crew at Inishmurray Island.
The Sligo-based Coastguard Helicopter Rescue 118 also attended and airlifted the casualties to hospital.
The lifeboat crew attempted to recover the boat from the rocks but due to high waves, were forced to abandon the effort.
Volunteer helm Rory O’Connor said: “The four casualties were lucky on this occasion and we are thankful that they alerted the Coastguard when they did.
"This was another callout with a good outcome.”
