Baltimore RNLI were called out to provide a medical evacuation late last night from Sherkin Island
The volunteer lifeboat crew, under Coxswain Kieran Cotter, launched their all-weather lifeboat shortly before midnight, following a request from the Irish Coast Guard to provide medical assistance and evacuation to a boy who had sustained an injury earlier that day.
The Baltimore all-weather lifeboat crew along with two HSE paramedics arrived at Sherkin Island where paramedics conducted an initial assessment before the voluntary lifeboat crew brought the casualty onboard the lifeboat.
The lifeboat then returned to the station in Baltimore where the casualty was transferred to the ambulance and brought to hospital.
