It will be held in her memory and proceeds therefrom will be applied to the pending Kinsale RNLI Lifeboat Station,
...currently in the planning stages, for which Michelle campaigned untiringly and fearlessly. Previous high profile speakers under Michelle’s charge included Ron Holland, Roy Disney and Bruno Troublé.
