Here is a snippet of our training exercises with Rescue 116 which took place yesterday, just east of Skerries.

These training exercises are vital to ensuring that both crews are familiar with each other, the techniques and operating procedures required for real missions. #IrishCoastGuard #SAR

Today marks the 8th anniversary of the loss of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, Captain Mark Duffy, Winchman Paul Ormsby and Winchman Ciaran Smith.

2 brave souls were brought home, 2 remain lost to the sea, but all 4 will be forever remembered for the sacrifice they made.

🆘 112 is the European-wide emergency services number to remember. Dial it if you think somebody could be in difficulty.

📟 112 call-outs for us this year as of the earlier tasking for a missing person on the coast.

✅ 112 ended well - thankfully the person was found safe & well ashore. Significant searches were undertaken by Coast Guard, Gardai, and Lifeboats.
