Arranmore RNLI experienced a busy weekend with crew being awarded for the rescue of a kayaker, a long service award, two new recruits and two calls for assistance.

Two young volunteer crew members from Arranmore RNLI are being recognised by the charity for their part in the September 2023 rescue of kayaker Malachy Doyle.

Arranmore RNLI volunteers were kept busy as they were tasked to three medical evacuations on Sunday.

Arranmore RNLI volunteer crew were requested by Malin Head Coast Guard to assist in the medical evacuation of three patients requiring assessment in Letterkenny University Hospital.

Arranmore RNLI's volunteer crew and the family of new Coxswain Kieran O’Donnell were at the lifeboat station to welcome him ashore following his final assessment.
