RTÉ News reports that 10 people were rescued from a boat taking on water off the Blasket Islands yesterday evening, Friday 8 July.
Nine of the group took refuge on a local fishing boat that diverted to assist while one remained on board in an attempt to save the casualty vessel, which was towed to Dingle by another local vessel.
