Title: Ballyshannon Coastguard Station Carrickboy Co. Donegalreg. No. 48852070
Post by: jamesL on Thursday 24 April 14 14:42 BST (UK)

I have just seen an item on -Buildings of Ireland National Inventory with photographs describing this station. My Grandmother and three of her siblings were born here between 1876 and1880. I have been trying to find info on this building for years nd I will try and attach a reply to me in 2008 from Tony Daly of Coastguards of yesteryear. Could this really be the same building? I would appreciate if anyone has any knowledge of this building.
Regards
