A LIMERICK man whose bravery saved a young woman’s life, has been named the Limerick Person of the Month.
Captain Liam Halpin from Woodview Park in the city came to the rescue of a teenager who had gotten into difficulty in the waters off County Clare.
Only for the quick-thinking and fast action of Mr Halpin the outcome most certainly would have been very different.
“I am delighted to receive the person of the month award. I didn’t expect it,” Mr Halpin told the Leader after being phoned to inform him of the award which is sponsored by the Limerick Leader, media agency Southern and the Clayton hotel.
