He was handed over the HSE ambulance service and brought to hospital for medical treatment.

A search is continuing for the second crew member.

Owen Medland, Area Lifesaving Manager at RNLI, explained: "There's an ongoing search effort involving the LÉ Orla, the RNLI assets from Howth and Skerries, and a number of local fishing boats."

A Coast Guard helicopter is also assisting with the operation.
