A fishing boat and its crew were brought to safety by Wicklow RNLI last week after their boat experienced mechanical problems off the coast of Wicklow.
Wicklow RNLI responded to more than 30 incidents during 2023 as both the all-weather and inshore lifeboats launched to come to the aid of those in difficulty at sea.
Six Wicklow lifeboat volunteers were honoured with meritorious awards from RNLI Chief Executive, Mark Dowie, for their efforts in rescuing three stranded fishermen adrift in a vessel northeast of Wicklow Harbour earlier this year.
