A father and son helped rescue a rare whale from shallow water near the Ted Smout Bridge, off Clontarf.
The father, Oli Forsey, said he originally thought the 4.5 meter long whale was a Minke whale, however after releasing photographs on social media many believe it may be a rare Brydes whale.
Mr Forsey said, “it was unfortunate to see it stuck like that but it was an amazing experience seeing it lift its eye to look up at us."
