An RNLI crew came to the aid of a family of three whose boat ran aground on rocks near the mouth of the Scariff River in Tipperary last night.

At around 6.51pm yesterday evening, the RNLI lifeboat Jean Spier launched following a call from a concerned member of the public made to the Valentia Coast guard.
