The emergency services have appealed to people to be careful while out walking after the SECOND rescue mission in as many days.
A man had to be rescued close to Malin Head earlier today after breaking his leg when he fell on rocks.
The man, who fell while out walking along the shoreline, was airlifted by the Rescue 118 helicopter to Letterkenny General Hospital.
The man was found by the Greencastle Coastguard UNit who contacted Malin Head Radio station to task the rescue helicopter form Sligo to the remote area.
Only yesterday a Dutch tourist also had to be airlifted to hospital after hurting her ankle at the same location.
A spokesman for Malin Head Coastguard, who co-ordinated both rescue missions, appealed to people to take extra care while out walking in the good weather.
“These two incidents show how such a simply walk along the coastline still poses a certain element of danger.
“We would ask people to be careful and to take a mobile phone with them where possible in case they do encounter any injury.
“We would ask people not to take any risks while walking and to let people know where they are going,” said the spokesman.
