A kayaker who got into difficulty in the water off Dalkey island at the weekend was rescued by the Coast Guard after being spotted by a member of the public.
On Saturday, the Coast Guard and RNLI Dun Laoghaire Lifeboat Station were alerted to reports of a kayaker in difficulty off Dalkey island and rushed to the scene. The kayaker was approximately half a mile from Sorrento point and was in the water for twenty minutes, unable to get back into the kayak.
The RNLI Dun Laoghaire Lifeboat Station team recovered the kayaker and brought them to Coliemore harbour. Fortunately, the kayaker was uninjured and did not require transport to hospital.
