A SEMRA hill party reached the casualty just before 9pm and National Ambulance Service members also arrived at the scene and assessed and treated the young man.
The Waterford Airport based Coast Guard Rescue helicopter 117 evacuated the injured man at 10pm and brought him to Waterford University Hospital.
