For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Call Out 460


Lough Neagh Rescue was tasked by HMG at 14.34 after two 999 calls were received from members of the public to report a flare sighting. The flare was seen east of Washing Bay and two units were launched. A search was carried out in the Washing Bay area but nothing was found. The search was called off when a spent flare casing was found adjacent to a wedding party at the Bannfoot. The lifeboats were back on station at 15.40.
