#WaterSafetyIreland have today awarded  “#JustinTime” rescue awards to Michael and Amy Walsh from Butlerstown who alerted the Rescue Authorities on the evening of 25th Feb 2021, when they noticed a garment near the slipway at Dunworley Beach in West Cork, while out walking.

The Lifeboat then proceeded to tow the Yacht at low speed under the cover of darkness and in dense fog to the safe surrounds of Kinsale Harbour and was successfully berthed at the Dock Marina at 2.30 am.

Having commenced in Westminster on the 4th March, this was the 219th visit and Chris Smith of the RNLI explained to all the significance of this visit to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI, before it was signed by Station representatives Brian O Dwyer from Operations,

It was another symbolic occasion at the Courtmacsherry RNLI Lifeboat Station on Sunday as the RNLI initiative of having a “Connecting our Communities” scroll  visit every possible region in the UK and Ireland, reached Courtmacsherry.

Thank you, #AnTanaiste @MichealMartinTD , for starting it and walking until he had to head away to Croke Park to witness a great Cork double. An eight annual #GreatWildAtlanticMarathonWalk programme that we are all so proud of. Thank you to our hard-working Walk Committee.

What a day in @Courtmacsherry today. Thanks a million to a record participation of 485 walkers plus 95 helpers making it a total of 580 persons involved today. It was some commitment by so many.

The Great Wild Atlantic Marathon Walks are underway here in Courtmacsherry. Group start at 9am with An Tanaiste Micheal Martin. A superb day for walking. Come down at any time to register for any distance. It's our Stations biggest fundraiser annually

Inflatables are for pools, not the sea! This includes paddle boards and inflatable kayaks. Here are our lifeguards' top safety tips if you decide to use them at the beach this summer👇 #WaterSafety #Inflatables #SwimBetweenTheFlags

Thanks to Club co-ordinator Conor Walsh and his team for the invite to spread the safety messages to all. Stay safe over the August holidays.

It was great to get the essential water safety messages across to 180 participants at the @BarryroeGAAClub Cul Camp today.  Courtmacsherry Lifeboat Station we're delighted to team up with members of the @SevenHeads/OldHeadCoastGuard team every August at #CulCamp
