Three rescued after Kerry cliff falls
Three men in their early 20s have been rescued after falling off cliffs in Co Kerry.
Ballybunion Sea & Cliff Rescue were called to Nuns beach in Ballybunion at around 5pm this evening.
Two of the men were taken from the water, after apparently trying to climb down the cliff to rescue their friend.
He had suffered back injuries and was airlifted from the cliffs by the coastguard helicopter.
He was taken to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick.
The two men rescued from the water had suffered cuts and bruises and have been taken to hospital in Tralee.
One was also suffering from hypothermia and is understood to have been unconscious when he was rescued.
It is understood the men were not locals and may have been tourists from the UK.
