Emergency services and Gardai were alerted that the man had fallen from his kayak and was being pushed down the fast-flowing river yesterday
They tried unsuccessfully to rescue him before the RNLI crew were able to do so.
Two volunteers took the man, who was semi-conscious, from the River and brought him to their base at Dromineer before he was transferred to hospital by the Shannon-based coast guard helicopter.
