Killybegs Coast Guard responded to two incidents yesterday afternoon.

In the first, members were tasked to a fallen hill walker up Slieve League. She had sustained a lower leg injury, and was given first aid before being put on a stretcher and brought to the car park where there was an awaiting ambulance.

In the second incident, a young cyclist fell off their bike and sustained a head injury in a remote area outside Ardara.

The Coastguard assisted the National Ambulance Service and the crew of Rescue 118, who transported the casualty to hospital via helicopter.
