A rescue operation is underway in North Mayo tonight to extricate a person from a sea cave near Downpatrick Head.
The man was one of two people believed to have entered the cave while exploring the coast this afternoon.
They were then trapped by the rising tide. A group of kayakers nearby managed to get one of them to safety, but the man got stuck.
Several authorities are involved in efforts to bring him to safety.
It’s understood that a major rescue operation is underway with a race against time to free the man.
