The man, a local, is understood to have serious leg injuries.

The alarm was raised when the man was seen falling into the river Liffey near the Credit Union building shortly after lunchtime.

The rescue took about an hour, and gardai directed traffic which built up quickly because of the emergency vehicles on the road.
