WICKLOW | 20 JUNE
When a woman slipped and fell while stepping ashore from a moored boat, it was lucky that RNLI Helm Vinnie Mulvihill was at hand. Vinnie was tending the Wicklow lifeboat when he heard shouting and realised that someone was in the water. He jumped in and manoeuvred the woman alongside a nearby boat (pictured), where others helped lift her out of the water to safety.
