On the day, subject to operational requirements, the volunteer crew of the lifeboat as well as representatives from locally based emergency services including the National Ambulance Service, An Garda Siochana, Bundoran Fire & Rescue and Donegal Bay Community First Responders will be on hand to talk to members of the public about the service that they provide and display some of the lifesaving equipment that they use during a callout.
The event is free of charge to attend and will take place on the pier at West End, Bundoran from 1-4pm on Sunday 21st August.
Also present on the day will be the RNLI’s education team who will conduct a lifejacket clinic as well as providing a kid’s educational Water Safety talk and a demonstration of “throw bags”.
