Coastguard officials say there has been no pollution from a cargo vessel which has run aground off the Co Galway coast.

The 120 metre vessel went onto rocks in Cashla Bay in the early hours of this morning.

It had arrived at Rossaveal harbour yesterday evening.

The crew is still on board, and efforts will be made to refloat the vessel at high tide, which is due at about 5pm this evening.
