A man is in a critical condition in hospital after falling from a cliff in Co Dublin last night.
The Howth Coast Guard said it was last night called to search for a man who was last seen at the Howth Summit car park at about 5.30pm.
The Coast Guard helicopter was deployed and shortly before 6pm a man who appeared to have fallen 100 feet off a cliff path was sighted near the Bailey Lighthouse.
Three rescuers were winched down to the man and he was given first aid before being lifted from the cliffs by the helicopter.
He was taken to Tallaght Hospital where he is said to be in a critical condition.
