More than 20 rescue volunteers were involved in the operation on the north side of Cuilcagh Mountain in Fermanagh
A man has been rescued following a six-hour operation after becoming stuck in a cave system in Fermanagh last night.
The man, aged in his 20s, became too tired to continue on the return leg of a planned caving trip in a system on the Marlbank yesterday. The man was not injured and was safely brought to the surface around 3:15am, and the rescue team was stood down around 45 minutes later.“We were alerted around 8.30pm last night and a number of local wardens – who’re highly experienced rescue people – made their way up to the cave.
The ICRO is a specialist all-Ireland volunteer rescue team for the underground environment, with bases in Clare and Fermanagh. It attends incidents in caves, potholes and abandoned mines at the request of An Garda Síochána or the PSNI.
