A fisherman aged in his 80s, who had been missing on Lough Corrib overnight, has been found safe and well.
It's understood the angler had set out in a small boat from Golden Bay between Cong and Corr na Móna along the Mayo-Galway border yesterday.
A family member raised the alarm last night after the man, understood to be from the Claremorris area of Mayo, failed to return home.
The Irish Coast Guard said it was altered to the incident shortly before 11pm.
The Sligo based Rescue 116 and Shannon based Rescue 115 helicopters were deployed to carry out a search of the lake, along with members of the Corrib Community Rescue Boat.
The search and rescue operation was suspended shortly after 4am this morning, before it resumed at first light with the assistance of the Cleggan and Costello Bay Irish Coast Guard units and local fisherman and boats.
In a statement, the Irish Coast Guard said: "Following the resumption of the search at first light, shortly afterwards the missing person was located safe and well."
The Coast Guard also confirmed that the search teams have now been stood down.
"The Irish Coast Guard wishes to thank all personnel involved in this successful search," the statement added.
Gardaí, who assisted in the search operation, say the fisherman was located safe and well on Lough Corrib this morning.
Gardaí also confirmed that the man has been taken to hospital for treatment.
