Dun Laoghaire RNLI coxswain Mark McGibney and mechanic Kieran O’Connell were on hand to assist the Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard team earlier today for a casualty of the canine kind.
A slip off the pier at low tide left “Ethel” stranded with injuries to her paws from trying to scramble to safety.
Using the boarding-boat for the All-Weather lifeboat, they were directed to the East Pier by the DLCGand after ten minutes of reassurance were able to lift the dog into the boat and back to safety.
