THE Galway father and son who located two missing paddleboarders off the Aran islands last month have recorded another rescue. The father and son located the man off Nimmo’s pier, and he was taken by ambulance to University Hospital, Galway. Members of the Galway Fire “Swift” rescue service assisted, and the Galway RNLI lifeboat was also preparing to launch. Rescue services were alerted and the Galway RNLI lifeboat launched from Galway docks within minutes. The Galway lifeboat remained on standby during the operation and the man was rushed to University Hospital Galway.
