#RNLI - Youghal RNLI came to the assistance of two people last weekend after their fishing vessel got into difficulty off the Cork coast.
The volunteer crew was requested to launch their inshore lifeboat last Saturday (27 January) at 3.55pm to reports of a vessel in need of assistance.
The lifeboat proceeded to the location of the 21ft fishing boat a half-mile east of Black Ball Buoy.
The weather on the day was fine with a slight south westerly breeze.
The lifeboat, helmed by Patsy O’Mahony and with crew members Liam Keogh, Jason Clossey and Jack Nolan onboard, returned the boat under tow safely to his moorings in Youghal Harbour.
Speaking following the callout, Youghal RNLI deputy launching authority Brendan O'Driscoll said: “We were happy to come to the assistance of the fishing crew and bring them to safety.
“We would also like to congratulate Jack Nolan on a job well done on his first callout since he moved from shore crew to full crew in January.”
