    Yes, this great British institution is not vaguely concerned about where it saves lives – here or the UK.

    We should be grateful for their continued presence, at no cost to the Irish taxpayer.

    It costs us only what we choose to donate….

    Well done RNLI without them we would have many life’s needlessly lost at sea. Being a British institution has nothing to do with anything . They Harley go out to save people but ask them if they are British or commonwealth … Oh your irish all,right then well,leave ya too it the. Sort yourself out . These brave lads and lassies put there lives at risk to save everyone in trouble, and put to sea when you wouldn’t even be able to see in front of your face . When you can , donate to the RNLI as all funding from Ireland stays in Ireland to assist and fund all RNLI stations north and south .
