Rescue operation off Mayo coast after jet skiers get into difficulties

Two jet skiers are safe and well after getting into difficulties earlier today off the Mayo coastline.

Rescue 118 responded when the alarm was raised after the two men encountered problems at Blacksod Bay.

Malin Head Coast Guard received the report at 1.20 p.m. and tasked the search and rescue helicopter to aid the lifeboat and coast guard service from Ballyglass.

One of the two men succeeded in making it ashore safely before Rescue 118 brought the second man to safety.

Both are in a stable condition.
