The Irish Coast Guard leapt into action after one person suffered a suspected broken leg injury following a fall in Dun Laoghaire yesterday.
On Sunday, the Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard team was tasked to assist National Ambulance Service (NAS) National Paramedics with a casualty who fell on the seaward side of the East Pier, sustaining a suspected broken leg. A spokesman said: "Paramedics provided initial treatment while the Coast Guard team packaged casualty into our stretcher and carried them to ambulance for onward transportation to hospital.
"Remember if you see anyone in difficulty in or near the water, dial 112/999 or VHF channel 16 immediately and ask for the Coast Guard." It comes as today is set to be the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures set to rise as high as 32C according to Met Eireann forecasters.
