The alarm was raised after a mother and her son, who were out tending sheep near Tullagh beach, heard cries for help and saw a man out at sea clinging to a lobster buoy. The man was hauled aboard a local fishing vessel minutes before being transported over to the RNLI boat and he was taken ashore and flown to hospital by the Coast Guard helicopter. The man is currently being treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wb1fh1W68I
