A rescue mission was launched on Monday afternoon by RNLI volunteers after the Dublin Coast Guard reported a young woman being dragged out to sea on a paddleboard.
The call was received just after 2:00 pm on August 1, and volunteers in Skerries immediately launched their Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat “Louis Simson.”
The lifeboat launched and was headed for Balbriggan harbour, where the woman and her paddleboard were thought to be located.
