    Whomever splashed their names to the media, to the extent that RNLI had to re-write their shout-out write-up.

    Do you think its unusual that the media would identify people by name, or that it's strange for the RNLI to acknowledge that once they learn the details?

    Sounds like you think there was a PR firm in the background putting pressure on various parties.

    I know people who have rescued people in similar circumstances as this second rescue and their names were never splashed around the press

    There they are looking for attention again.

    A swimmer who got into difficulty off the coast of Co Galway this morning has been rescued by two fishermen who were honoured for another dramatic sea rescue in August.

    They say by 2025 you'll never be more than 5m from someone that has been rescued by the Olivers.

    Galway Lifeboat was also involved taken to the station and treated for hypothermia and transferred to Ambulance. He was sitting on the large rock about fifty feet from the prom opposite Killorans pub.

    How are they looking for attention? They have pots in that area, if you know anything about Maritime Rescues you would know all vessels in an area where a mayday/emergency has been declared & that are capable should assist. They were in the area at the time, not attention seeking.

    According to people on the internet

    They are going to have to not save the next person and let the sea take them.

    The Olivers have used up their saving lives quota.


    Thanks, people from the internet

    I heard that people in Galway are getting 'Do not rescue if your surname is Oliver' tattooed on them to avoid the embarrassment of being associated with them.

    If it was yourself or a loved one or a family member who was in the water and was rescued, would any of ye be saying the same thing ? would ye care who responded and rescued as long as someone did ?

    This thread has turned pretty nasty so I will close it now.

    Well done Olivers for saving these people!
