Two teenagers rescued from Slieve Donard

On Saturday evening, two teenagers were rescued from Slieve Donard in County Down as conditions on the mountain worsened.

The boys scaled the mountain earlier in the day when the weather had seemed reasonable, but after reaching the summit, they realised they couldn't get back down.

They returned to the summit, where they took shelter and called for help.
