Wicklow RNLI rescue four fishermen from stormy seas

The Wicklow RNLI crew has rescued four fishermen from a French fishing trawler early this morning.

The volunteer lifeboat crew got the call from the Irish coast guard at 3.15am to go to the aid of a 26m, 120 tonne, French fishing trawler, the Bara An Aod, which had suffered engine failure two-and-a-half miles east off Wicklow Head.
