At the request of the Coast Guard, Kilmore Quay RNLI Lifeboat crew launched at 9.30am on Sunday morning to assist three anglers when their boat experienced engine failure close to the Brandies rocks, approximately one and a half nautical miles south of the Saltee Islands.
The lifeboat arrived on scene at 9.50am. Sea conditions at the time were described as slight. Weather conditions were good, cloudy with a light south-westerly breeze, Force 1-2.
Having checked all on board were safe and well, it was decided that the safest course of action was to establish a tow to bring the boat to Kilmore Quay arriving at 10.45am.
