Rosslare Harbour RNLI lifeboat was launched at 5.30pm on Wednesday after four young swimmers were reported in difficulty near the Europort.
The swimmers were located near the shore, and the crew responded promptly upon receiving the call, arriving at the scene within minutes. The swimmers were safely brought onboard and subsequently transported to the lifeboat station.
They were taken by ambulance to Wexford General Hospital.
On a warm, sunny evening, the Rosslare Harbour lifeboat, along with Carnsore and Rosslare Coast Guard, attended the rescue.
“These four young people were incredibly lucky. Thanks to their location so near the lifeboat station and the fact that there were lifeboat crew already at the station, a rescue was underway immediately following the alarm,” said RNLI lifeboat operations manager Jamie Ryan.
