THE Lough Swilly Lifeboat crew have renewed appeals for the public not to park on the slipways at popular piers.

A spokesperson has issued the plea ahead of what is expected to be a gorgeous weekend of weather in Donegal.

The slipways are used to launch lifeboats.

“We would appreciate it if you could park sensibly at Ned’s Point and Buncrana Pier,” a spokesperson said.

“It is vital we keep the designated parking areas for crew clear as well as the slipway at Ned’s Point.

“Every second counts when the pagers go off!

“If you’re in difficulty or see someone in or on the water in trouble, please dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.”
