Hiker Rescued at Mahon Falls | Ireland News

A hiker suffered a serious lower leg injury near Mahon Falls in the Comeragh Mountains, prompting an urgent rescue. SEMRA responded swiftly, applying a vacuum splint and preparing for a challenging uphill carry — but a helicopter delay added complexity. After finishing another emergency, Rescue 117 returned to airlift the injured hiker, along with two SEMRA volunteers and the hiker’s companion. The crew even dropped everyone back at the car park to avoid a long descent. By 6:37 PM, all were safely evacuated — a testament to teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.
