The volunteer lifeboat crew were requested to launch their inshore lifeboat Margaret Bench of Solihull, on the afternoon of Friday 14th May at 3.40pm to a chartered angling vessel, with seven people onboard, that was one mile south of Adam Island just outside Glandore harbour in West Cork.
The lifeboat helmed by Tim Forde with Paddy Moloney and Cathal Deasy onboard, launched at 3.51pm and made its way to the area where the vessel was, and once on scene, a lifeboat crew member established a towline and the lifeboat began to proceed the tow back to the pier at Union Hall.
Speaking following the call out, Jim Moloney, Union Hall RNLI Deputy Launching Authority said: ‘This was the second lifeboat launch request for Union Hall within 24 hours, and with a busy season ahead we would remind everyone going to sea to always carry a means of communication, wear a life jacket and respect the water’.
