Two of the kayakers were lifted out of the water and they landed at the pier at Enniscrone.

The other person made their own way safely to shore.

The Killala coastguard team was also involved in the rescue.

An ambulance was called to the scene but none of the three needed further medical attention or hospitalisation.
