VIDEO: Heroic RNLI volunteers rescue three fishermen from sinking trawler in horrendous conditions in Kinsale

The rescue happened in Kinsale yesterday.

Three fishermen were rescued from a sinking trawler in storm force conditions in Kinsale by a number of volunteers from the Kinsale branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution yesterday. Dramatic footage posted on the Kinsale RNLI Facebook page shows three fishermen being rescued from a sinking trawler by RNLI volunteers Nick Searls, Jim Grennan and Matthew Teehan, who were assisted by a number of volunteers working back at the station. The footage shows the fishermen having to be rescued from severely choppy waters while the trawler sinks into the sea, with the RNLI volunteers preventing what could have been a tragic incident. Fair play to everyone involved.
