“@IrishCoastGuard crews and helicopter, @RNLI, @AmbulanceNAS, Irish Rapid Community Response @CommunityAirAmb, @gardainfo came together for the multi-agency rescue”.
The cliffs are a well-known attraction to locals and people farther afield for their safe trails.
There are no extremely steep or even dangerous passages on the Howth trail, and the chances of getting lost are “next to zero” according to reviews.
People have been taking to Twitter to thank the rescue services for coming to the person’s aid, with one person writing: “Amazing group of people, such challenging conditions . I hope the person recovers after such bravery from all involved”.
Another said: “Heroes all of you, we can never thank you enough”.
