Due to weather conditions a rescue helicopter was unable to be sent to the scene.

At around 7pm the men were able to make another call through an Apple watch and provide details of their location.

Dingle Coast Guard brought the men to safety from the top of Mount Brandon, at around 9 o'clock last night.
