The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) has issued an interim report into the tragic death of Irish Coast Guard volunteer Caitríona Lucas last year.
Today, a group of emergency services personnel will set off on an estimated 800km cycle taking in the country's four Coast Guard rescue helicopter bases.
Irish Coast Guard volunteer Caitríona Lucas, who died in the line of duty last September, has been posthumously awarded the Clare Person of the Year Award at a special event in Ennistymon.
