With Arklow RNLI’s new Shannon class all-weather lifeboat, the Roy Holloway, arriving in south Wicklow this October, the station has launched a €200,000 fundraising appeal.
Charities and voluntary community groups from across Wicklow have kickstarted their fundraising efforts ahead of the festive season by releasing new calendars choc full of amazing photos of the Garden County and its characters.
Arklow Credit Union has shown its green credentials by installing a massive array of 44 solar panels on the roof of its main building, which may generate as much as 19,850Kw hours of energy annually.
