Private airfield comes to teen’s rescue

A PRIVATE airfield in west Cork has staged its first air ambulance airlift.

Brian Daly, 17, from Skibbereen in Co Cork, was successfully airlifted from Rowa Pharmaceuticals’ airstrip on the shores of Bantry Bay two weeks ago for treatment in Dublin.

Mr Daly was transferred to the airstrip by ambulance from Bantry General Hospital where he was met by an Aer Corps Eurocopter air ambulance.
