Two people were rescued from Ireland's highest mountains in separate call-outs yesterday.

The first alarm was raised at around 3.50pm when Kerry Mountain Rescue Team was tasked to evacuate a female hillwalker with a lower leg injury near the base of the zig-zags on Cnoc na Toinne, just south of Carrauntoohill, in the MacGillycuddy Reeks.
