In the first case the rescue services  assisted 4 persons when their cruiser hit rocks in Scarriff Bay, south west of Holy Island shortly before 12 yesterday ..

Then just before 3 pm  the Valentia Coast Guard requested the Lifeboat to launch again to assist 3 persons on board a cruiser aground, just off Mountshannon, north of Holy island.
