Bundoran RNLI Lifeboat Has a Busy Day with Two Callouts.

Bundoran RNLI lifeboat was called out twice yesterday (Tuesday, 27 July) to two individual callouts in Bundoran, Co. Donegal. The first call out was to three children off the main beach in Bundoran. Two of the children had been taken to shore by local beach lifeguards and the lifeboat brought the third child to shore safety. The three children received first aid and oxygen and then were taken to Sligo General Hospital by ambulance. They were three children from the one family on holiday in Bundoran from Co. Down.

The second callout was to two adults in their mid twenties who were walking on the famous “Rougey Walk” and stepped off the walk, on to the rocks at the Fairy Bridges and with the large swell in the waves, the two persons got into difficulties with their dog. The lifeboat crew assisted the two persons to get back to safe ground on the shore.

Commenting after the callouts, Colm Hamrogue, Press Officer, Bundoran RNLI Lifeboat said, “Thankfully everyone was rescued safely today. It is very important to be fully aware of your surrounding when enjoying sea for the rest of the summer. When you are on the shore and you see something you are not sure of, please do not hesitating in calling the RNLI Lifeboat on 112. It is better to be safe than sorry as we want everyone to have a safe and happy summer.
