Huge congratulations to Brian Thompson on receiving his 40 Year Long Service Medal from the Irish Coast Guard tonight! 👏

For four decades, Brian has dedicated his time, skill and unwavering commitment to serving his community through the Greencastle Coast Guard Unit. From search and rescue operations to mentoring new members and promoting water safety, his contribution has made a lasting impact both locally and nationally. His professionalism and leadership have guided countless operations - and plenty of us along the way!

Of course, no tribute to Brian would be complete without mentioning the legendary storytelling. The stories might be long-winded, and you’re never quite sure what the punch line will be (or when it’s coming!), but they’re always delivered with heart - and usually a captive audience. And as for the outfit choices over the years… let’s just say the Coast Guard uniform has seen some interesting interpretations! Thankfully, his dedication has always been far more consistent than his fashion sense. 😄

All jokes aside, this medal is a fitting recognition of an extraordinary 40 years of service, commitment and friendship. We are incredibly proud of you, Brian - a remarkable achievement and so very well deserved.

From all at Greencastle Coast Guard Unit

*Expression of Interest – Social Media Support*

Greencastle Regatta is looking for someone with an interest in social media to help cover the festival weekend by posting updates and broadcasting events live across our social media channels.

The role would involve:
- Sharing live updates during events
- Posting photos and short videos
- Helping showcase the atmosphere and activities throughout the weekend

If you enjoy social media, events, and being part of the Regatta buzz, we’d love to hear from you. It’s a great way to get involved and build experience while supporting a much-loved local festival.
