UPDATED: Three dockers had to be rushed to hospital after becoming ill while unloading a fishing boat in Killybegs at the weekend.

The three men, who were working for Killybegs Stevedoring Ltd, were rushed to Letterkenny General Hospital with suspected gas inhalation.

The men were working on a freezer ship when they began to complain of feeling unwell.

The ill workers were later transferred to Sligo General Hospital for further treatment at the Ear, Nose and Throat Department.

However, all are believed to be okay now.

The Health and Safety Authority has now confirmed to Donegal Daily that they are conducting an investigation into the incident.
