With Eamonn Mahon at the helm, Lough Swilly RNLI looks forward to continuing its vital work

A volunteer with Lough Swilly for over 30 years, Eamonn brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Throughout his time at the station, he has participated in numerous rescues and played a key role in training new crew members and advancing the station's capabilities.
