Woman’s €3m legacy funds lifeboat
The fishing village of Kilmore Quay in Co Wexford paid a warm welcome yesterday evening to a new all-weather lifeboat — the first of the RNLI’s Tamar class to be based at an Irish lifeboat station.
Described as “the most modern and technically advanced lifeboat in the RNLI fleet,” the craft has been entirely funded by a €3m legacy from Mary Weeks from Surrey in England, who passed away in 2006.
