#RNLI - Skerries RNLI's Christmas shop opened for business this past Sunday 15 November and will be open again every Sunday until Christmas from 11am to 1pm.
The North Co Dublin lifeboat station will also once again be holding a Christmas raffle with tickets available at the shop.
This year the prizes for the raffle are two beautiful paintings which have been generously donated by the extremely popular local artist Dave West. Tickets for the raffle are €2 each or 3 for €5.
There is also a large selection of items available in the shop again this year. From torches to teddy bears, buckets to books, cards to calendars, there really is something for everyone. And with many of the items costing less than €2, there are also some great ideas for stocking fillers.
Speaking about the raffle, volunteer lifeboat press officer Gerry Canning said: "We are very grateful to Dave West for supporting the local lifeboat through these prizes. This is a great opportunity for someone to win a painting by a very popular artist and would make a great Christmas present."
