A large group of Fishermen belonging to the Draft Net Fishing Company who fish for salmon in Cork Harbour and the tidal River Lee visited the lifeboat station last evening (14 Feb) and presented the station with a huge cheque to the value of €1000.00 which was the proceeds of their annual fundraising venture. Presenting the cheque on behalf of the fishermen were Noel Hegarty and John Hennessey. The late Jerry Hegarty, who was tragically lost at sea a year ago was a member of the Fishermans association, and his brother, Noel thanked the lifeboat crew for all the efforts they had put into recovering Jerry back to his family.
Patsy Fagan, Deputy Launching Authority at Crosshaven RNLI, thanked the Association for thinking of the RNLI as their chosen charity and reminded the group that the RNLI is a charity and without the support of benefactors such as themselves, the lifeboat would not be able to operate.
As the new Baltimore “Tamar class” lifeboat was overnighting in Crosshaven en route to her new home, Coxswain Keiran Cotter kindly took the visitors on a tour of the new lifeboat.
