Normie on my FB has a short video of one of the Irish CG helos setting down at Donard Park this afternoon. Video not good enough to read off which.

It was EI-ICA.
Arrived around 5.20pm and was circling behind Slieve Donard. Left the area around 7pm
-
EI-ICA looks to be heading North again

Just beat me too it. Looks to have circled around Dunleer possibly nearly stood down

Seems to be in the southern part of the Mournes tonight near Killowen. Got to border, turned back home then back over the border again.
Earlier call out via Mourne Mountain Rescue Team
At 1651hrs today, the team received a call for assistance via Police for an injured walker. The experienced walker was descending Slieve Bearnagh when they fell, sustaining a debilitating lower leg injury. The team responded, located and stabilised the casualty, alongside prepping for a stretcher evacuation. Given a variety of factors, including that of accessibility, the availability of a SAR aircraft was requested. Rescue 116 from Dublin responded, and airlifted the casualty to Newcastle for onward transfer to hospital. 14 members were tasked and stood down 2045hrs.
