Howthcoastguard

Howth Coast Guard is just one of 50 Coast Guard Units inland and around the coast of the Republic of Ireland crewed by a total of 950 male and female volunteers. All Units are operated totally by local crews (including Howth) who give freely of their valuable time and effort to the Coast Guard, local community and 'those in peril on the sea', cliffs and coasts of Ireland. Training is provided for the volunteers, and these are available on-call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Howth is a Cliff Rescue Team, Search Team and a Boat Team.
