Galway Lifeboat Volunteers Honored | Galway News

Galway Lifeboat Station celebrates 30 years of lifesaving heroics, honoring volunteers Shane Folan and David Oliver for three decades of unwavering service — Shane, the first crew member in 1995 now serving as launch authority, and David, who rose from crew to helm. Martin Oliver joins the ranks with 20 years of dedication, transitioning from crew to helm since 2015. Together, they’ve launched over 800 times, rescued nearly 500 people, and saved 74 lives. These aren’t just numbers — they’re stories of commitment, training, mentorship, and sacrifice. And behind every volunteer? Their families and friends, holding the fort through midnight calls and holidays. This isn’t just about time on the water — it’s about the enduring human spirit that keeps saving lives.
