Lifeguard rescues RTÉ broadcaster in difficulty

Veteran RTÉ broadcaster Seán Bán Breathnach had to be rescued by a lifeguard after he got into difficulty while swimming in Clare on Monday afternoon.

It has also been confirmed that the lifeguards at Spanish Point dealt with the largest number of incidents at one location on the same day in recent years.

Mr Breathnach is in Clare this week broadcasting for Radio Na Gaeltachta from the annual Willie Clancy Summer School.
