The offshore survey company Green Rebel, founded by Irish tech and telecoms entrepreneur Pearse Flynn, has announced a €15,000 funding boost for lifeboat stations around the country.

The RNLI will use the money from the Cork-based company to support the running and maintenance of lifeboat stations in Arklow, Ballycotton, Crosshaven, Dún Laoghaire, Howth and Galway — areas where Green Rebel has been operating in recent years.
