Four men have been arrested after a full scale river rescue on the Liffey.
Shortly before midnight on Monday Gardaí at Irishtown responded to reports of a boat being stolen from a rowing club at Ringsend.
Gardaí attended the scene and a boat with a number of people on board was spotted stranded on the River Liffey. They had drifted into the Dublin Port shipping channel.
A full scale river rescue involving Dublin fire brigade was launched and four men were brought safely to shore at North Wall Quay a short time later.
Water-rescue trained Firefighters, using one of rescue boats, towed four people to safety last night.
The boat they were in drifted east of the the Tom Clark East-Link bridge and in to the Dublin Port shipping channel.
