FOLLOWING the recent departure of Coxswain George O’Hagan after 36 years of dedicated service at Lough Swilly RNLI, his yellow wellies have now been filled by Eamonn Mahon.
A volunteer with Lough Swilly for over 30 years, Eamonn brings a wealth of experience to his new role.
Throughout his time at the station, he has participated in numerous rescues and played a key role in training new crew members and advancing the station’s capabilities.
Everyone at Lough Swilly RNLI is delighted with Eamonn now leading the seagoing crew as Coxswain and extends their best wishes as he takes on his new responsibilities.
Joe Joyce from Lough Swilly RNLI remarked: “This is great news for the station, Eamonn was a natural choice given his extensive search and rescue experience. We are delighted he has stepped into this role following George O’Hagan’s retirement.”
With Eamonn at the helm, Lough Swilly RNLI looks forward to continuing its vital work, ensuring the safety of those at sea and supporting the local community into 2025 and beyond.
