Two girls on a lilo rescued off the Wicklow coast yesterday.

The RNLI are reminding people that inflatable toys "do not belong anywhere near the sea".

It's after two girls got into difficulty yesterday afternoon after their inflatable dingy drifted 4.5km from Silver Strand Beach in Co Wicklow.

Two men went to their rescue and the four became stranded on nearby rocks.

All four were rescued by the RNLI and the two girls were flown to Temple Street Children's Hospital for treatment.
