The Irish Coast Guard’s Sligo-based Sikorsky helicopter yesterday flew a 39-year-old man injured in a fall on Rathlin island off the Co Antrim coast to hospital in Coleraine, Co Derry, writes Lorna Siggins.
Separately, a search continued on and off the Aran island of Inis Oírr yesterday for a Derry man reported missing since Saturday night. The man, in his mid-40s, was last seen about half a mile west of the island’s pier on Saturday night in very heavy weather conditions.
