Con continued: ‘From tall ships to aerial acrobats, from food to live music there is something for everybody at the Irish Maritime festival and being a volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to be part of this spectacular event. It’s also great fun.’

He concluded: ‘If you’d like to be part of the volunteer team call myself or Karen on 041 9830142. You can email us on info@wlc. ie or you can drop in to Grainne and the team at the Louth Volunteer Centre in Bolton Street.
