#rnli – Five people had a boat trip on Dublin Bay cut short this afternoon when their motorboat became entangled on a lobster pot off Sandycove, Co. Dublin and were brought to shore by the RNLI lifeboat at Dun Laoghaire.
One of the propellors on the 55-foot Sunseeker motorboat was caught up in the pot line and and was unable to free itself and the lifeboat launched shortly after 5pm this afternoon. A local fishing boat also gave assistance.
The boat was freed from the line and towed to Dun Laoghaire as a precaution in case of damage to the engine.
