Child taken to hospital after water incident at marina


A child has been taken to hospital after a boat capsized near the Carrickfergus Marina in County Antrim.

The incident involved nine children and an adult.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, Fire and Rescue Service, and the Maritime and Coastguard attended the scene.

After assessment and initial treatment, one patient was taken by ambulance to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.

The rest were discharged at the scene, according to the ambulance service.

A spokesperson for the RNLI said a number of people remained in the water, while others were on top of the upturned boat when they arrived at the scene at about 21:00 BST.

They said the group were “cold and shaken but otherwise safe and well” after being recovered from the water.
