Volunteer crew members of Tramore RNLI were tasked recently in the early hours of the morning.
When most people were asleep on Sunday morning, October 26, and enjoying the extra hour of sleep due to the changing of the clocks, volunteers from the Tramore Lifeboat RNLI were called into action.
In an account of the incident on the branch's social media page, at approximately 3.20am, pagers sounded, prompting a swift response from the dedicated lifeboat crew.
'Within minutes, the lifeboat was launched into the darkness to conduct a search operation along Tramore Beach,' noted the branch in its post.
'The mission was stood down shortly after it began, and the crew returned safely to the station,' they added.
Local emergency services also responded to the incident, ensuring a coordinated and efficient effort was under taken.
A spokesperson for the branch, in the post, said the RNLI praised its volunteers for their 'unwavering commitment and readiness to respond at any hour'.
It was also noted that in doing so the crew members highlighted the RNLI motto: 'On call 25 hours a day, 365 days a year.”
