| Secretary of Howth Lifeboat, Rupert Jeffares said the lunch is "one of the most successful Fundraisers in Howth on an annual basis. It helps to ensure the two Lifeboats in Howth have the most up to date search and rescue equipment, and that crew are properly trained in its use". Many local businesses sponsored the lunch, including Susan Eve boutique who provided a fashion show on the day. |
