Following the recent departure of Coxswain George O’Hagan after 36 years of dedicated service at Lough Swilly RNLI, his yellow wellies have now been filled by Eamonn Mahon.
Joe Joyce, Lough Swilly RNLI Lifeboat Press Officer remarked: 'This is great news for the station, Eamonn was a natural choice given his extensive search and rescue experience. We are delighted he has stepped into this role following George O'Hagan's retirement.'
