Lifeboat services back in business after dispute

LIFEBOAT services have been restored along a popular 10-mile stretch of coastline in Co Waterford following the end of a dispute between two rival services.

The Bonmahon Inshore Lifeboat and Lifeguard club, which has serviced the many beauty spots from Stradbally to Dunabrattin head for 19 years, has announced the resumption of its service after it ceased to operate on January 30.

The organisation made the decision when threatened by a group who were attempting to provide an additional inshore lifeboat in nearby Dunabrattin.
