Síle sends out an SOS for volunteers

A young woman who joined a lifeboat crew after being saved by its members is appealing for more volunteers to help with its important work.

Síle Scanlon, who at 19 is one of the youngest members of Ballycotton RNLI, knows more than most the immense value of having an organisation dedicated to saving lives off our coast.

Four years ago, she and three friends kayaked out to Ballycotton lighthouse for a walk on the island.
