Ferry rescued swimmer off Dublin
A tourist in his 20s was rescued from the sea by the crew of the 'Adam Patricia' off County Dublin after getting into difficulty on April 21, 2024. The man had been swimming on Burrow Beach and then decided to swim out to Ireland's Eye. However, he was spotted clinging to a marker buoy 1km from shore off Howth by the ferry. He was taken on board, and the Irish Coast Guard unit from Howth were tasked to meet the ferry. The Coast Guard crew took the casualty, who had been in the water for two hours and was suffering from severe hypothermia, to the Coast Guard station. Medical care was provided until the arrival of an ambulance. He was then taken to Beaumont Hospital. Report with video: https://www.rte.ie/news/regional/2024/0422/1444928-howth-swimmer-rescue/
