Three people have been rescued after their fishing vessel began taking on water off the coast of County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.
Shortly before 8:00 local time on Wednesday, a mayday call was received by Malin Head coastguard, the Department of Transport has said.
A nearby fishing vessel responded to the distress call near Glengad and successfully rescued all three individuals from the stricken boat.
Greencastle coastguard, the Sligo-based coastguard helicopter rescue 118 and the Lough Swilly RNLI were all dispatched to the scene.
In a post on social media, Lough Swilly RNLI said the vessel had already sunk its three crew had been recovered from a life raft by a nearby fishing boat.
They were then transferred to the Greencastle coastguard boat and brought to Bunagee Pier, where they were assessed by an ambulance crew.
