Riverdance came home to Dublin's Gaiety theatre this Summer, and the world-famous aquatic-themed troupe has been supporting the RNLI.

On 1 June, 15 of the show’s dancers ran the Dublin mini marathon, putting in some impressive times and raising €3,000. There was also a collection on the opening night, 23 June, which raised €1,500. Area Fundraising Manager Maureen Gill said: ‘Riverdance is very special to Irish people and is known throughout the world. I hope that through this relationship more people have become aware of the work of the RNLI in Ireland, as well as raising vital funds.’
