At 13:00 today, the volunteers of Skerries Coast Guard were tasked to investigate public reports of a large partially submerged object drifting in the water off Red Island. The Coast Guard were concerned from the public reports that the object may pose a hazard to boats in the area. The Skerries team were on scene at Red Island within minutes and began a search of the area.
