Cyclists from across Ireland are being invited to take part in the 2026 Dave Fenton Charity Cycle, a special community event in support of two vital local organisations, the Castletownbere RNLI Lifeboat Station and Castletownbere GAA.

Castletownbere and Baltimore RNLI responded to a Mayday after a 35m fishing trawler with 12 onboard, took on water off Dursey Island in West Cork.

Castletownbere RNLI launched their all-weather lifeboat to go to the immediate assistance of three fishermen on a trawler which got into difficulty off the West Cork Coast.
