Ballybunion Sea & Cliff Rescue

A quick time lapse of a full scrub down of our primary IB1 D-Class today. While the boats are washed after every launch, they still build up dirt and scum on the sponsons. Nothing a bit of elbow grease won’t fix!!

What a fantastic morning in Ballybunion! Perfect for some light surf work…..!! (And for station duties while the boat was out…..but that isn’t nearly as interesting!!) #BallybunionRescue

What an incredible evening in Ballybunion for some training and swim tests! Did you know that our crews must be able to swim, in full PPE, from the Virgins rock to the cliff? Tonight, some of the crew completed the yearly swim test completed! #BallybunionRescue

As part of our continued support for the town, we have installed a public access defibrillator on Church Road at our vehicle garage. Signs are now in place and the unlock code is on the sign alongside the cabinet. #PublicAccessDefib #BallybunionRescue

Happy International Women's Day to everyone but particularly to our female members who make up 28% of our membership! #happyinternationalwomensday #BallybunionRescue

Another day of BSCR leading the way…..first SAR unit in Ireland to complete “wet winches” with the new AW189. Here is a peak….!

Massive congrats to Kevin, Pj, Derek and Gaz who passed their Advanced Powerboat Certificate with @safewatertrain today. A large undertaking at the end of last year and today but it has paid off with all four successful! #InshoreRescue #RescueTraining

This AM we were requested by the Gardaí to search for a small boat which was afloat in the outer Shannon estuary. No persons were reported aboard and as a result, a shore search was commenced. The boat was located up river from Ballybunion and recovered by the Naval Service.

John, Mike and Kevin delivered over 20 meals by 4x4 to the elderly today in Ballyb, Ballylongford and Lisselton. Requests for assistance locally can be made by DM or via email - ballybunionrescue@gmail.com. Emergency assistance can be requested via Listowel Gardaí

Wishing all our supporters, followers and members a very Happy New Year!! Audio didn’t transfer across from Instagram but you can still view it! #HappyNewYear2025

Great night exercise last night by both crews of the Atlantic 75 and IB1. Both of our rescue boats are night capable meaning our crews will respond day or night when requested. #BallybunionRescue

Successful evening/night navigation exercise this week. As the evenings close in we will do more night exercises to ensure that boat rescue boats continue to be night capable. #BallybunionRescue

What an incredible sunset while the IB1 was out training tonight! #BallybunionRescue #ViewFromTheOffice
