Eight Wexford lifeboat volunteers were awarded the RNLI Long Service Medal last weekend after each reaching 20 years of service. The volunteers were Nick Bowie, Sinead Casey, Lorraine Galvin, Simon Gulliver, David Maguire, John Michael Murphy, Peter Scallan and David Sherwood.
The lifeboat crew were towing two people on a boat with engine failure when they were tasked to two girls in the water 200m off Rosslare Strand on Sun.
