A paraglider was seriously injured in the Knockmealdown Mountains on the Waterford / Tipperary border yesterday.
Emergency Services received the call just before a 4.45 in the evening.
The South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association made their way to the lake of Béal Locha near the Vee.
An off-duty doctor provided initial essential medical treatment as Rescue 117 and paramedics also arrived on the scene.
According to SEMRA, the injured person was then packaged onto a stretcher and air-lifted to hospital.
This was one of three incidents the Mountain Rescue Association attended yesterday.
Both the other two call-outs were for lost walkers.
One was in the Galtee Mountains and the other was in the Coumshingaun Loop, near Kilclooney Woods in the Comeraghs.
All walkers involved were escorted safely back to their vehicles.
