A person was pulled from the river Boyne and thankfully saved after a rescue operation on Sunday night.
The individual was reported in the water around the Fiddlers Case Pier at 23.20pm.
The Boyne Fishermen’s Rescue and Recovery Unit were alerted and a full scale rescue operation was launched.
It is understood the casualty was brought to safety by one of their crew while the inshore rescue boat and mobile unit arrived with more volunteers to help out.
The BFRRS said the tidal conditions were very difficult at the time and the Louth Fire and Rescue Services were also called for help.
The individual was safely taken out of the water and handed over to the paramedics from the National Ambulance Service.
It was the second rescue on the river over the festive period.
Unfortunately an individual who was successfully taken out of the Boyne on Christmas Day later died at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital much to the sadness of everyone involved in that rescue operation.
