A new lifeboat has been launched on Lough Neagh, the largest lake on the island of Ireland.
There are now three lifeboats, crewed by volunteers, servicing the lake.
Lough Neagh is 30km long and 15km wide. It is used for a variety of recreational and commercial activities and gets extremely rough very quickly in windy conditions.
The new vessel, Bungy-3, cost €150,000 and received 75% grant aid, which came from EU funding, channelled through the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Five of the six counties of Northern Ireland, all but Fermanagh, have shores on Lough Neagh. It is the largest lake on the island of Ireland and among the 40 largest lakes in Europe.
