Cattle rescued off the coast after falling into the sea

Two cattle have been rescued from the sea in Waterford Harbour after they fell 15 metres off a cliff and into the water.

Fethard Lifeboat was tasked to the scene yesterday morning after the animals were reported stranded a kilometre and a half from the shoreline. The crew, operating in choppy seas with a two metre swell, escorted the animals into shore in Templetown Bay, in Co Wexford.
