Two jet skiers were taken to safety by the Irish Coast Guard after they got into difficulty on the River Shannon in East Clare last night.
The Killaloe unit of the Coast Guard was alerted and requested to assist the pair after their Jetski experienced engine difficulty south of Killaloe.
At around 9.40pm, while volunteers were training on the river, they were flagged down and asked for assistance.
The crew contacted watch officers at the Irish Coast Guard’s Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) on Valentia Island in Kerry to inform them they were responding to assist persons in difficulty.
The two occupants of the Jetski were taken on board the rescue boat and the jetski was taken on tow back to Ballina slipway where a shore team assisted in the safe recovery of the ski from the water.
