The Irish Coast Guard has rescued two swimmers at the Forty Foot in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
A member of the public reported seeing the swimmers in difficulty near the popular swimming spot this morning.
The two swimmers were rescued safely and no medical assistance was required.
Gerard O’Flynn, deputy director of the Irish Coast Guard says that people should be careful when deciding to go swimming in the sea.
“We would ask anyone who is thinking of going swimming at this time of year to consider the weather.
“Today’s weather conditions were extremely challenging, the tides are stronger at the moment, we are at peak tides, so that’s another challenge.”

O’Flynn added that this morning was a particularly difficult time for swimming.
This is because a number of weather advisories have been issued across the country.
A state yellow wind warning went into effect in Munster at 11 a.m. today, while a warning for Leinster was issued as of noon.
A marine alert has also been issued, with a yellow gale alert status in force since the early hours of this morning.
