This Saturday the Clogherhead Lifeboat will carry out a training exercise in Dundalk Bay before proceeding up the river to Dundalk at 12 noon. The focus of the exercise is to prepare for an emergency at sea involving any water based activity ranging from swimming or kayaking to leisure boating and fishing vessels.
Subject to operational requirements, the Lifeboat will remain at the quayside in Dundalk until 1:15pm and the public are invited to visit the boat and talk with the crew.
In 2013 the Clogherhead RNLI Lifeboat launched 11 times in response to emergency calls, eight of those services were in the dark. Clogherhead Lifeboat provides an on call, 24-hour search and rescue service in an area that stretches up to 30 miles out to sea and along the coast from Skerries in north Dublin to Carlingford in north Louth.
