Three people have been rescued after their boat began to sink off the coast of Co. Wicklow. 

The incident occurred shortly after midday when the 15m foot speedboat was almost one mile from Bray Harbour.

A local boat raised the alarm when three people were seen in the water. 

The RNLI lifeboat from Dun Laoghaire and the Greystones Coast Guard came to their aid and all three were rescued. The sinking boat has also now been towed to shore.
