Rescue underway after emergency call

There is a rescue operation currently underway off the Donegal coast, after

an emergency call was made from a French fishing vessel earlier today.

A helicopter from the Finner Camp is on its way to the vessel, which is positioned

some 15 miles Northwest of Blacksod.

The call was made when a 47-year-old crewman on board the fishing trawler

suffered head injuries.

He will be airlifted to Sligo General Hospital.
