Volunteers' Time Wasted On Bray Head Hoax Call
#Coastguard - Search and rescue volunteers have expressed their frustration over a hoax call to Bray Head this past Monday night (2 March).
As the Irish Independent reports, Greystones Coast Guard responded to a report that an elderly man had sustained a head injury in a cliff fall.
Dozens of volunteers combed the area over several hours in poor weather with no sign of any casualty.
But they soon became suspicious when the phone number they were given for the caller stopped after a ring or two.
The Irish Independent has more on the story HERE.
