Kilrush RNLI Urges Thorough Inspection Of All Watercraft Before Usage Over Bank Holiday Weekend

People across Clare are urging people to thoroughly inspect their watercraft if planning to use them for the first time this year over the bank holiday. Kilrush RNLI says this includes making sure engines are serviced and that all equipment are in full working order. Prior to going out onto the water, it's advised to inform another person of your planned route and to bring a method of communication. Kilrush RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, Charlie Glynn, says it's also vital to ensure the vessel has enough lifejackets for all crew members.
