#RESCUE - BreakingNews.ie reports that two men have been rescued from a sinking fishing boat in Galway Bay this afternoon.
One of the two men on board the vessel alerted rescue services around 2pm after they began taking on water close to Salthill west of the city.
Two other fishing boats aided the duo before the Galway RNLI lifeboat crew boarded the vessel and used a pump to keep it afloat.
The stricken boat has since been towed back to the city docks.
