A man is being treated at Letterkenny General Hospital after he was airlifted from Mount Errigal in Co. Donegal last night.

Two men were out walking on the mountain when one of the men got into difficulty at the top of the summit, shortly after 7pm.

Members of the Donegal Mountain Rescue team and the Rescue 118 helicopter from Sligo were called and airlifted the casualty to hospital. He is being treated for leg and shoulder injuries.
