Ankle Injury Rescue in Comeragh Mountains | Waterford News

At 3:27 PM, the South East Mountain Rescue team raced to the Comeragh Mountains after a hiker took a nasty tumble near Boola Lakes. By 5:40 PM, first responders found the injured person—luckily, their group stayed behind to keep them warm and safe. The team stabilized the ankle with a vacuum splint and chose a gentler route down to Crotty’s Lake. Thanks to a landowner’s help, rescue vehicles accessed the trail, speeding up the evacuation. With National Ambulance and Gardaí on hand, the hiker was safely off the mountain by 8:29 PM and en route to medical care—fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
