Hide AdA spokesperson for Lough Neagh Rescue said the lifeboats were launched and “made best speed to the tasking area and quickly located the boat with two persons on board, this was due to the casualties deciding to stay together”.
The rescue crew then took the casualties onto the lifeboat and brought them safely back to the jetty in Kinnego Marina.
