Clifden RNLI have carried out a medical evacuation on Inishbofin.
The all weather lifeboat launched late last evening amid challenging sea conditions, with force 6 to 7 winds and large waves.

The operation was carried out under the command of Daniel Whelan, his first since passing out as Coxswain a few weeks earlier.
