A number of members of the Lough Swilly RNLI were honoured at a recent ceremony at Arás an Uachtaráin by President Michael D Higgins.
They were invited to a special garden party this week by the Presdient and his wife Sabina, celebrating 200 years of the RNLI keeping those on Ireland’s seas safe.
Lough Swilly RNLI members Paddy Murphy, Bridgita Kelly, Barry Stevenson and William Monaghan made the trip to Dublin on behalf of the team.
On social media, they gave special mention to Paddy Murphy, who went straight from a 10-hour callout to an emergency to the Arás!
“A special mention to Paddy Murphy who was just back on dry land after a 10 hour service call at sea,” Lough Swilly RNLI posted.
“Rumour has it Murfs is still sleeping, nobody has seen him since! 😴”
