A concerned member of the public reported unusual lights in the area of the small island and that there may be persons requiring assistance.

Skerries Coast Guard investigated the reports and with the assistance of the Irish Lights vessal, “Granuaile” which was anchored nearby, established that there was no indication of any persons on the island and no further action was required. Visibility in the area was moderate to good, with light SE winds. The Skerries Coast Guard team were subsequently stood down by MRCC.
