Larne RNLI came to the aid of three crew members onboard a broken-down fishing boat.

Drogheda Coast Guard Unit were tasked by the Marine Rescue Coordination Centre following a report from An Garda Síochána about a person in distress in the water near De Lacy Bridge.

A small but dedicated group of volunteers from North Kildare RNLI have raised €117,000 to fund a new D class inshore lifeboat for Wexford RNLI. The new lifeboat is to be named Cill Dara in recognition of the inland branch’s efforts to save lives at sea.

Bangor RNLI Helms John Bell and James Gillespie have been recognised by the charity with 30 year Long Service Awards.
