A heifer was rescued from the waters of Lough Derg this week by quick-thinking members of a local diving club.

Posting on social media about the incident on Wednesday (28 June), Tipperary-based Lough Derg Sub Aqua Club said they found the animal “drifting in the middle of Lough Derg” that morning.

They added: “We managed to get her to the shore near Drominagh, Ballinderry.

“We have numbers from her ear tag, as well as the exact coordinates for where we left her, if anyone wants to get in contact.”

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
