Lifeboats called out as two children on inflatable stuck adrift off Waterford coast

The RNLI has issued a warning to parents and children after a rescue mission had to be launched to retrieve two kids swept out to sea.

Both were on inflatable toys in the water this afternoon at Clonea Beach in Waterford and because of wind, both were pulled out to sea.

A lifeboat helmed by Alan Kelly, with crew members Paidi Breathnach, Cathal Reilly and Pat Devereaux onboard, was launched at 12.25 pm and headed north of the An Rinn peninsula.
