Four people were rescued from their broken-down fishing boat on Sunday as the vessel drifted towards rocks off the Waterford coast.

Dunmore East RNLI lifeboat launched Sunday afternoon to a report of a four-metre fishing vessel with four people on-board, which had lost its propeller and was drifting onto Falskirt Rock, three miles southwest of Dunmore East.
