A father and son have drowned in a tragedy at a lake in Co Donegal.

Emergency services recovered the bodies from Lough Keel, outside Kilmacrennan, this evening.

The alarm was raised shortly before 3pm, with gardaí and the Coast Guard launching a rescue operation.

Local councillor John O'Donnell says a father and two sons were on a fishing boat on the lake when they fell into the water.

One of the sons - also a teenager - was rescued, and he has now been taken to hospital.

The family is believed to be from outside the country and had been visiting the area.
