Bundoran lifeboat was launched at 4pm this afternoon to assist two surfers who got into difficulty off the coast of Tullaghan in County Leitrim.
The two surfers, both in their 20's and from Letterkenny, got into difficulty as a result of rising swells. A friend, watching from the shore alerted the rescue services. Conditions at the time of the rescue were hazardous due to fading light and five to six metre swells.
The men were brought to the lifeboat station in Bundoran where they recovered from their ordeal.
