Today marks a significant day for the Killybegs Coast Guard Unit as Ronan McFadden steps down as Officer In Charge
Ronan joined the unit on October 10, 2010 and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a climbing instructor, boat crew and Coxswain.
However, he had further ambitions and proceeded to become Deputy Officer In Charge and lastly, Officer In Charge.
“Fadgine as he is affectionately known will be remembered as a very formidable OIC, he is cool, calm and more than capable of any task that came his way,” a spokesperson for Killybegs Coast Guard said.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to Ronan for all he has done for the Unit during his tenure here. He has kept the standards high and this is a reflection of his dedication and commitment to the Killybegs Unit. We would like to wish Ronan all the best in his new position within the Irish Coast Guard.”
He will remain in the unit as a volunteer.
The present Deputy Officer In Charge, Amay Conneely, will now become Acting Officer In Charge while Phil Maloney will take up the position of Acting Deputy Officer in Charge.
“We wish both Amay and Phil well in their new temporary positions and they can both be assured that the usual high standards will be adhered to.”
