Doctor's island call-out

CLIFDEN | 23 DECEMBER
An elderly resident of Inishturk Island was able to spend Christmas at home, after volunteer crew from Clifden Lifeboat Station sped the local doctor to his bedside in an emergency evening call out. Thanks to their swift response, the patient did not have to be taken to hospital, and recovered well in the comfort of his own home.
