Six people have been rescued by the Dun Laoghaire RNLI lifeboat in two separate incidents this afternoon.
In the first incident, a yacht with one person onboard suffered steering failure two miles north of Greystones just before one o'clock.
Shortly after 2pm, a yacht with five people on board experienced engine failure near the entrance to Dun Laoghaire harbour.
A spokesperson for the RNLI says they're very happy to have returned everyone safely to shore today.
