The Aran Islands lifeboat has assisted an injured cyclist on Inisheer.
The Irish Coast Guard alerted the volunteer crew this afternoon that the cyclist required a medical evacuation.
The RNLI crew launched their all-weather lifeboat just after 1pm under Coxswain Aonghus O HIarnáin and four members.
The crew received a handover from the island doctor before assisting the patient onboard the lifeboat.
