Louth rescue crew save herd of cattle trapped in floodwater
The Boyne Fishermen Rescue and Recovery came to their aid after receiving an emergency call from the Ardee area.
The Boyne Rescue crew said: "A herd of cattle became trapped in flooded high water and we were required to assist and bring them to dry land.
"This was an important task as we wanted to safely avoid putting the herd under any further unnecessary threat.
"The herd was safely ushered to higher land where there was no risk to their safety or well being.
"Our crew returned to the boat house where equipment was restaged and ready for the next emergency call."
The Boyne Fishermen are also appealing to the public to give them donations via the new Government Re-turn scheme.
They have set up a 24/7 accessible return drop off point for your used cans and plastic bottles at their boathouse on the Marsh Road, Drogheda, if anyone wishes to donate them.
The Boyne Fishermen said: "Your donations help us continue to provide essential life saving services in our community.
"If your business or organisation would like to get involved and donate from canteens or work areas please get in contact so we can issue you a bin. We do weekly collections.
"Every bottle can make a difference, thank you for your continued support."
