Seven people were yesterday rescued from cliffs at Howth Head in Dublin.

The rescue took place at around 7pm when the teenagers became trapped at the end of a cliff near the Baily Lighthouse.

The seven had been caught out by both the incoming tide and fading light.

No-one was injured in the incident.

Colin Murray of Howth Coast Guard said the teenagers were taken to safety after a three-hour rescue operation.
