Today Sunday 30th of August we said goodbye to Barry Ellard who retires from our unit at Kilmore and from the Irish Coast Guard leaving behind over 10 years service and commitment.

Barry was a dedicated volunteer and was also an integral part of our school water safety program calling to the primary school to deliver water safety info sessions with the schools every year before the holidays.

We take this opportunity to wish Barry all the best and thank him for his commitment to maritime SAR over the years .

Thank you Barry , you leave big boots to fill .
