Appeal not to use inflatable toys at the beach after two girls swept out to sea

The two girls were taken by helicopter to Dublin Airport where they were met by an ambulance and taken to hospital.

Two girls received medical attention last night after they were rescued off Silver Strand beach in Wicklow, leading to an appeal for people not to use inflatable toys at the beach.

The girls' families became concerned about their safety while they were in the water on an inflatable toy.
