The Commissioners of Irish Lights has paid tribute to one of the great champions of Irish lighthouses and of the people who work in them, as he battles serious illness.

Chief executive Yvonne Shields O’Connor arranged for a framed original design drawing of the landmark Fastnet Rock lighthouse off Cork to be presented to photographer and artist, John Eagle, to thank him for his work over the years sharing the history and stories of Irish lighthouses with a global audience.
