Bundoran RNLI responded to what turned out to be a false alarm on Wednesday morning.
The alarm was raised by a member of the public, who believed that a vessel was drifting near rocks at Creevy Pier.
Volunteers responded to what has been described as a false alarm with good intent at around 9.02am this morning.
The volunteer crew assembled, and the lifeboat was launched immediately, and the crew were promptly on scene to assess the situation.
The sea conditions were calm at the time, allowing for a smooth and efficient response.
Upon reaching the vessel, the crew found the boat to be anchored, and all four individuals were safe.
The individuals were appropriately equipped, wearing lifejackets and possessing adequate means of communication. After confirming that the group required no further assistance, the lifeboat returned to the station.
Speaking following the call out, Bundoran RNLI Helm Elliot Kearns said: 'We would like to commend the person who raised the alarm when they thought someone was in difficulty, that is always the right thing to do, and we would always much rather launch and find all is well than not launch at all.
