Two teenagers have been rescued after falling into the sea at Hook Head in Wexford on Sunday afternoon.

The pair, along with two others, are believed to have been swept off the rocks and into the water due to rough conditions on the coast.

According to WLR fm, emergency services were alerted to the incident at around 2pm this afternoon, and the Waterford based Coastguard Helicopter Rescue 117 was launched.

The pair were then airlifted to Waterford Rugby Club and were taken from there to University Hospital Waterford by ambulance. One is said to be in a serious condition.
