The Irish Coast Guard has come to the rescue of a cliff walker who suffered a leg injury on Howth Head.
An alert was raised just before midday and a search team and paramedics were called to Red Rock beach, where the injured walker was brought by stretcher, across fields to a waiting ambulance.
Howth Coast Guard's Fergus Cooney says the walkers did everything right and were well prepared to deal with an emergency.
"After a short search we located the casualty. She had suffered an injury to her left leg. Along with the paramedics from the ambulance service, we got the casualty stretchered to a location across agricultural land," he said.
"We got the patient into an ambulance and she was transferred to Beaumont Hospital, where she's expected to make a full recovery."
