A serious water incident occurred near Buncrana, prompting a multi-agency response after reports of three males in difficulty. Search efforts led by the Irish Coast Guard, along with the RNLI and local authorities, resulted in the hospitalization of two juveniles, one in serious condition. Tragically, the search also revealed the body of an adult male, prompting the search for the third male to cease. The local coroner has been notified and a post-mortem examination is pending. The Coast Guard expressed gratitude for the support received during the search efforts.
Two male juveniles were transferred to Letterkenny University Hospital, one of whom remains in a serious condition. Following the subsequent recovery of a body of an adult male in his teens, the search for the third male has since been stood down.
Just after 9pm this evening a second person was recovered from the water by Greencastle Coast Guard Unit and transferred to Buncrana Pier. The Coast Guard would like to thank all the search and rescue units and members of the public who were on scene for their assistance in the search.
