A 32m-long ship has been refloated after a major emergency rescue operation took place when it ran aground off Dursey Island in West Cork.
The French registered trawler which had been sailing with 14 crew on board is understood to have run aground on rocks off the Southern tip of Dursey Island at around 2pm on Friday.
A coast guard helicopter and the Castletownbere lifeboat crew were called to the scene as part of a major emergency response which was coordinated by the Valentia Rescue Coordination Centre.
