The RNLI have come to the assistance of nine people after a motor cruiser ran aground on rocks near Drominagh on Lough Derg.
The alert was raised by Valentia Coast Guard shortly after 11.30am yesterday morning.
An inshore lifeboat was conducting routine training drills nearby and was quickly on the scene, where it managed to tow the boat to safety.
Speaking afterwards, a member of the rescue crew said everyone had done the right thing, and they reminded anyone in difficulty on the water to call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.
