Bernard Lucas was out on an Irish Coast Guard "shout" last week for a missing man in Co Clare. The extensive search with the Irish Coast Guard's Doolin and Kilkee units, the Shannon Rescue 115 helicopter and Clare Civil Defence had a good outcome, as the elderly man was found in woodland and treated for hypothermia. However, Bernard's Doolin unit doesn't always get days like that. One such day etched forever in his memory is September 12, 2016, when the unit lost one of its own highly experienced members - Bernard's wife, Caitriona. Ms Lucas (41), a librarian, a mother of two, and an advanced coxswain, had offered to help out the neighbouring Irish Coast Guard Kilkee unit in a search for a missing man.
