An Irish Coast Guard unit based in Howth, Co. Dublin, was involved in an unusual rescue at the weekend, after a lamb became stuck after falling from a cliff.
The incident occurred, coincidently, on Lambay Island off the coast of Dublin.
The boat crew from Howth responded to a 999 call that was received this morning (Monday, August 30) and found the lamb – christened ‘Lucky Louis’ by rescuers – had fallen 10m down a cliff on the east side of the Island and had become stuck.
