The Malin Head Coast Guard was part of a medical evacuation from Inishturk North of the County Mayo coast this week.
At around 9 o’clock on Wednesday night, Malin Head Coast Guard called Clifden RNLI to the island to assist in the removal of a sick child.
The Irish Coast Guard’s Sligo-based helicopter Rescue 118 was also sent to assist with the operation.
Both arrived on scene 40 minutes later and the child was air-lifted to Mayo University Hospital.
