The Committee of the RDCA, along with the wider Rathlin community, would like to pass on their sincere condolences to the Gage family on the passing away of Zeak earlier this week. The family has conveyed the following message:
Murphy's is currently taking orders for coal deliveries to the island. They will come over once they have a full lorry's worth of orders, probably by the end of August. Please ring 028 2177 1268 to place your order.
A couple of weeks ago we posted a story about NI Water requesting people on Rathlin to reduce their water usage, in light of "a significant rise in the amount of water used in the home" since lockdown, in part causing a "significant drop in water levels" across the north.
A statement from Rathlin Island Ferry Ltd. updating ferry travel arrangements:
NOTICE TO ISLAND RESIDENTS:
From Thursday 9th July 2020 – All deliveries/goods will be transported on the Spirit of Rathlin departing Ballycastle at 10.00. The Ferry Office will call to notify you of your collection. Residents will collect their goods from the vessel following crew instructions. Anyone collecting goods must adhere to the face covering policy and use hand sanitiser provided. Failure to follow to crew instructions may result in RIFL refusal to carry goods.
The RDCA committee, office staff and island community are deeply saddened to hear the news that Lucia Quinney Mee, beloved daughter of David and Rachel, and sister of Alice, has passed away in King's Hospital, London.
