The Killybegs Coast Guard are involved in the operation
Emergency services are currently attending a 'martatime-related incident' at Teelin Pier.
Late on Saturday morning, Teelin Pier was closed to the public due to what was described as 'an emergency'.
A multi-agency operation was subsequently launched in the area.
A crew from the Killybegs Coast Guard attended in their Delta RIB after being tasked by the Malin Head Coast Guard and the Killybegs unit is involved in the ongoing operation.
The Coast Guard's 118 Rescue helicopter, based at Strandhill in Sligo, was dispatched to the scene. The chopper appears to have returned to its base.
A spokesperson for the Department of Transport told Donegal Live: “The Irish Coast Guard are currently responding to a maritime related incident in Co. Donegal.
