A spokesperson said: "Killybegs Coast Guard are delighted and extremely proud to tell you all that after being assessed today, that Conor O'Donoghue and Amay Conneely have been appointed Designated Boat Coxswain of the Killybegs Coast Guard RHIB.
"Many years of hard work, a lot of training and countless courses have all paid of and we could not be happier for you two. We salute you."
"Amay is now the first female coxswain in the history of the Killybegs Coast Guard Station and we as a team say 'well done.'
CConor and Amay joined the same day with the Killybegs Coast Guard team here and its only fitting they are crossed this milestone together."
