The Courtown/Arklow Coast Guard Unit is presently engaged in an ongoing search operation for a missing individual. Comprehensive shoreline and sea searches have been conducted, with two searches performed on Monday morning and evening.

Courtown/Arklow Coast Guard, helicopters Rescue 116 and 117, and RNLI lifeboats are participating in the search.

“We have continued our search again today (Tuesday) with extensive searches carried out this morning from Arklow to Courtown with our shoreline search teams and our Drone teams,” stated the Coast Guard this evening and added; “We will continue our search again tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

“We would ask that the public be vigilant if they are out and about on our coastline, but most importantly if you are assisting with a search that you remain safe and don’t take any unnecessary risks,” added the statement on social media.

If you see anything that should require further investigation, please dial 112/999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
