In November Liam, from Abbey Street, Roscommon, together with other RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) long term volunteers, was presented with an award in recognition of the work he does. Liam is an assistant navigation inspector of water in Ireland and a volunteer with the Lough Ree RNLI as a Helm. “He (his father) couldn’t swim a stroke.” However, Louie Fleming who lived in Roscommon Town also had a massive influence on Liam’s life with the water. Once he got older he started driving boats and when the RNLI stated in 2012 a lot of members from the club joined the RNLI as volunteers. Lough Ree RNLI is thankful and grateful to all who donate and contribute to the RNLI.
