The Coastguard has rescued two young women who got into difficulties in the water off Dun Laoghaire’s East Pier in Co Dublin this morning.
One of the women, aged 22, is believed to have dived off the pier at around 4am before being swept out to sea.
Her 18-year-old friend was also carried out by the current while making an effort to rescue her.
Another two young women subsequently entered the water to try to save the others, but they were forced to swim back to shore.
The Coastguard located the two missing women within half an hour of being alerted and they were transferred to St Vincent’s Hospital, where they are recovering this morning.
