Volunteers line up to man service for tragedy-hit area
Almost 200 people attended a public meeting in Union Hall in West Cork on Monday to discuss the preparation of a detailed submission to the RNLI seeking the establishment of an inshore lifeboat service to serve the area.
Many of those who attended were involved in the mammoth search and recovery operation triggered by the Tit Bonhomme trawler tragedy just over 15 months ago. Five crew members died when the vessel went down at the mouth of Glandore Bay.
