“At a hearing last month, Mr Dillon said the charity’s failure to attend to answer his statutory complaint was “symbolic of the contempt, of the ignorance or contempt, towards Ireland as a region in the RNLI””
“He also said Irish donors would hand over cheques with a view to them going to Irish lifeboat stations, but they would instead be sent to the UK and “go into an account forever”.
“There hasn’t been a new lifeboat delivered to Ireland in I don’t know how many years,” he said of the organisation at the time of a series of reorganisation proposals.”
Sounds like there might be a case for Ireland separating itself out from the “Royal” National Lifeboat Institution…..
