Ballybunion Rescue has bought a new launching vehicle which will enable them to continue their life-saving work.
It’s (The T96 is a Talus MB-H which is) a purpose designed and built vehicle for launching rescue boats into the sea.
The North Kerry rescue service purchased it second-hand from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
It’ll replace Ballybunion Rescue’s Morooka track machine, which they used for 18 years.
This vehicle cost £30,000 sterling and Ballybunion Rescue had to secure a substantial loan as they needed it immediately.
It says it’ll also have additional costs and they’re appealing for the public’s help and support to raised funds.
We are extremely proud to receive delivery of a Talus launching vehicle which has been purchased second hand from @RNLI.
This massive purchase is made possible by you, our community. We are very grateful to @Clann_Credo for facilitating a loan to allow its immediate purchase 1/2 pic.twitter.com/IEp8ozrN6g— Ballybunion Rescue (@BallybRescue) June 8, 2023
