A person who was trapped on sea cliffs in north Dublin was saved in a daring rescue on Thursday.
Quick-thinking walkers on the cliff path alerted the Irish Coast Guard to the scene.
The crew quickly found the person thanks to the location number of the last sign on the cliff path given by the walkers. The coast guard crew arrived alongside the Howth RNLI, National Ambulance, and CHC Helicopter.

The team set up ropes and removed vegetation along the steep cliffs to clear the path, and the person was finally rescued by the hardworking crew.
