Locals asked to partake in debate on Lough Derg Lifeboat.

Public consultation is getting underway on plans for a permanent lifeboat station for Lough Derg.

The existing volunteer station celebrated its 10th anniversary in May.

Lough Derg is one of three RNLI inland stations in Ireland.

Architects and planners involved in the permanent station will address a public meeting in Dromineer tonight on the plans.
