Five swimmers rescued at Rosses Point

Gardai have issued a warning over high tides and strong currents at Deadman’s Point at Rosses Point.

It’s after five swimmers were rescued from the water yesterday in three separate incidents.

A multiagency operation including the RNLI and Rescue 118 was launched yesterday evening to assist two swimmers who had gotten into difficulty.

Two other swimmers were rescued by a fishing boat while another was assisted by a fellow swimmer.

Gardai are urging people to be on the alert as high tides are set to continue at Rosses Point for the coming days.
