Nine rowers rescued in Cork

Nine people have been rescued from the water at Lough Mahon in Cork today.

The group, made up of rowers from UCC Rowing Club, were out in rough conditions when their boat sank.

They were rescued by the Crosshaven RNLI Lifeboat which just happened to be in the area at the time on an exercise.

The rowers were taken to safety and were treated for hypothermia and shock.
