The Tipperary based South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association was called into action on the Comeragh Mountains yesterday afternoon.
The alarm was raised shortly after 2.30pm after a walker suffered a lower leg injury above Coumshingaun lake.
The group that was with the walker provided initial care before SEMRA arrived on the scene. They put the casualty in a leg splint and onto a stretcher.
The team then commenced a long tough stretcher haul off the hill over rough ground and through thick gorse.
The casualty was transferred to the National Ambulance Service at Kilclooney Woods at 6.40 last evening.
