Like every other RNLI station, lifeboat volunteers at KinsaleRNLI have been unable to pursue their normal fundraising activities due to Covid-19 restrictions.
So they were surprised and delighted to receive a cheque recently for over $5,000 from a group of Irish expatriates in the USA.
McCarthy’s Bar in San Francisco owned by Eileen McCarthy from Drinagh, West Cork became an unlikely outpost for the lifeboat thanks to Kinsale native John Farley, who has lived in the Californian city for the past 30 years.
