Letterkenny – Galway Coast Guard’s busiest inter-hospital transfer route

The Coast Guard’s busiest inter-hospital transfer route is Letterkenny to University Hospital Galway.
That’s according to the organisation’s end of year statement.
Latest figures show the rescue body saved 378 lives this past year.
Almost 2,500 incidents were managed from its three co-ordination centres in Donegal, Kerry and Dublin, while 770 missions were flown.
The Coast Guard, in its end of year statement is warning about the dangers of relying on mobile phones while at sea.
It insists they aren’t suitable as coverage is limited and unreliable.
