126. Full Circle: Tom McGuire

126. Full Circle: Tom McGuire

By RNLI

It’s often said that the RNLI is a family. That’s certainly how former priest Tom McGuire feels – the Lough Ree Lifeboat Press Officer has even christened some of the crew 

When his wife spotted an advert for Lifeboat Press Officer at Lough Ree RNLI, Tom didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Having previously worked in the area as a priest, he was welcomed into the role by crew he’d married, christened, or played football with.  

With a career in broadcast journalism under his belt, Tom talks of his passion for telling the stories of the RNLI, and his deep understanding of the importance of the lifeboat to the community it supports.
