Sharon Kirwan and Elizabeth Lynch are pictured presenting a cheque to Paddy Hodgins, honorary secretary of Clogher Head lifeboat station for the' sponsored launch' of the lifeboat.

The money was raised by students of Drogheda Grammar School who held a nonuniform day at the school and raised £160.

Clogher Head branch has recently formed a new fund raising committee and one of its plans is to seek twelve local firms, shops or pubs to sponsor the station's monthly lifeboat exercises for the coming year. The Grammar School sponsored the first launch.
