Ellen Glynn, who along with her cousin Sara Feeney, was swept out to sea on her paddleboard has described how they did not think anyone was searching for them because they could not see any boats or rescue helicopters.
She said they started screaming in the hope Sara's mum, who was on the shore, would hear them. But nobody could. She said it is a "blessing" that she and her cousin found the buoys as she does not want to think about what would have happened otherwise. She said she is a regular paddleboarder but unfortunately neither of the young women had mobile phones with them so they were unable to contact rescue services themselves.
Ellen said the water was warm, but as soon as the sun went down it got really cold outside and the wind was getting heavier and there was thunder, lightning and heavy rain."We were quite sure we were going to be found. I was just worried about how cold we were. We were shaking like leaves.
