Rough seas are hampering the search for two men who went missing off the Co Waterford coast yesterday.
Marine Rescue divers are attempting to enter the water at a cove between Bonmahon and Ballydowane this afternoon but conditions may prove too dangerous, a Marine Rescue official said.
The men, believed to be in their twenties, were last seen on rocks on the shore.
Coastguard vessels form Helvick Head, Dunmore East and Tramore are involved in the search along with a navy rescue helicopter.
One man was recovered from the rocks close to the area where the two missing men were last seen. He was taken to Waterford Airport by the Irish Coast Guard's helicopter and transferred to hospital.
The rescue services were alerted to the incident at 6.40 p.m. yesterday.
