30 passengers brought to safety after Cork pleasure boat loses power

Thirty passengers on board a pleasure boat have been brought to safety after the vessel got into difficulty off Kinsale Harbour in Co Cork earlier.

The Courtmacsherry RNLI all-weather lifeboat was called out just after 12.30pm to go to the aid of the 46-foot Spirit of Kinsale pleasure boat which was in difficulty near Charles Fort.
