RNLI’s fast boats and highly trained volunteers always race to the rescue

I WISH to expand on the reference to the RNLI in Peter Levy’s column headlined ‘Beach safety demands a closer look’ (Irish Examiner County supplement, June 17).

If it were possible to have a boat or beach rescue officer on every pier, beach or promontory on the coast, I would say ‘bravo’.

I have been involved with and followed the fortunes of the RNLI now for some 60 years.
