Lifeboat to honour volunteer couple

AN RNLI decision to provide a new inshore lifeboat in Fenit is expected to create closer links between the Co Kerry port and Bangor, Co Down.

The €25,000 craft is to be dedicated to the memory of Bradley and Sonya Burns, who had worked as mechanic and administration officer, respectively, on Bangor lifeboat.

The couple died within 10 months of each other, in 2006.
