THE sole occupant of a boat, adrift on the Abbey River this Thursday evening has been rescued and brought to safety after the alarm was raised shortly after 6pm.
The alarm was raised at 6:15pm when a call came into Limerick fire and rescue service that a boat with one male on board was drifting down the Abbey River.
Three units of the fireservice and the fire service boat “fire swift” were on scene and tended to the stricken vessel.
