At 14:12hrs HM Coastguard tasked LNR to Coney Island where it was reported by the Island Warden that 4 persons were stranded on the Island due to inclement weather conditions.
Both the Ardboe and Kinnego lifeboats launched and proceeded to the Island.
Upon the lifeboats arrival to the Island the crew liaised with the casualties and assessed their vessel. It was decided that the casualties would be brought onboard the lifeboat and transferred to Maghery, whilst in Maghery they were handed into the care of the awaiting local Coastguard team. All LNR units returned to base.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
