Clifden's RNLI Lifeboat Volunteers recorded 130 launches in 2025.
This figure is the combination of training exercises and rescues in the twelve months from January to December, of which 23 were search and rescue operations.
Crews also participated in a number of joint agency operations with local emergency services and carried out four medical evacuations from neighbouring island communities.
The maritime search and rescue service, which was established in 198,8 covers a wide patch of the Atlantic coast, bordering county Mayo at Killary, as far as Carna in South Connemara and encompassing the islands of Inishbofin, Inishark and Inisturk.
