Howth RNLI were called to three separate emergencies on Dublin's hottest day on record.
A child went missing in Portmarnock with an inshore lifeboat being launched at 2:20pm to help. The Rescue 116 helicopter and the Howth Coast Guard unit were also called.
An urgent 'Peter-Pan' message was then sent from a yacht with three people in difficulty. They were five miles North East of Howth. This meant that the all-weather lifeboat launched to find the missing child had to be re-directed.
