The volunteer Donegal Mountain Rescue Team (DMRT) has released details of yesterday’s operation on Errigal.

As reported earlier by Donegal Daily, a woman was airlifted to hospital after suffering a fall on Donegal’s highest peak.

“Yesterday, our team was tasked at approximately 8.46 am by An Garda Síochana to assist a walker who had fallen and sustained a lower leg injury on Errigal mountain,” a DMRT spokesperson said.

The casualty was located using Sarloc technology and a team was dispatched to assess the situation. 

“Due to the level of pain, it was concluded that a walk-off was not possible and so Coast Guard Rescue 116 was called upon and dispatched to assist.

“Team members immobilised the leg injury and kept the casualty comfortable until airlifted from the mountain to Letterkenny University Hospital. Our sincerest thanks to everyone involved, including the National Ambulance Service (NAS), for all their assistance during this call-out.”

The DMRT team returned to base and they stood down at 2:07pm.
