A 13-YEAR-OLD boy was taken to hospital yesterday after he fell into a sinkhole in Kerry.
Valentia Coastguard said that it was alerted to the emergency at about 6.40pm yesterday evening which occurred just north of Kenmare.
The Coastguard tasked the Rescue 115 helicopter from Shannon to attend the scene and help the boy.
By the the time the helicopter arrived, however, the boy had been helped out of the sinkhole.
The Rescue 115 helicopter flew the boy to Cork University Hospital but he is not believed to have suffered any serious injuries.

Yet another successful reduce form the coastguard
Read yesterday that plans are finally underway for a new helipad in CUH. It’s a hugely important hospital serving much of the south of the country and is the only Level 1 trauma centre in Ireland but does not have a helipad on campus. The coastguard currently have to fly in to Cork Airport and transport casualties by ambulance to the hospital 8km away

There also well aware how quickly a persons situation can change even if they look perfectly fine Kane.
Loving the way they were determined to just fly him somewhere after going to the bother of showing up….

Are we sure it wasn’t a “pot hole” in Kilgarvan ?
Oh wait. Sure there are no such things in Haely Rae neck of the woods.
