Volunteers with the Youghal RNLI have rescued three people off the southeast coast of Cork after the boat that they were travelling in suffered engine failure.

The RNLI responded to a call at around 2.45pm this afternoon after the 40ft motor cruiser broke down not far from the lighthouse in Youghal Bay.
