Four Rescued From Lough Erne
Four people had to be rescued from the Lough Erne yesterday after their boat ran aground.
The RNLI was called out to the lake to rescue the stranded passengers. No one was injured in the incident.
This is the second time this week that the lifeboat has been called out to the County Fermanagh lake due to low water levels.
Earlier three adults and two children had to be rescued from the lake after their cruiser became grounded.
The extended period of unseasonable dry weather has meant that water levels are lower than normal at this time of year.
