Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Kirkwall lifeboatmen, Dougie Bain and Christopher Irvine, on their long service awards in recognition of their time working for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI); notes that Douglas, a second coxswain, has served for 30 years, and Christopher, who works as a launch authority, has served for 20; welcomes this well-deserved recognition of what it believes to be an outstanding commitment to the lifesaving work carried out by RNLI in the Orkney area; pays tribute to the resilience of Douglas and Christopher in what it recognises can be a challenging and unpredictable environment, and thanks both gentlemen, and all their colleagues in the RNLI, for their hard work and dedication to serving island and coastal communities around the country.
