Monday's Irish Marine Federation Annual General Meeting at the Royal St George Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire Harbour provided a lively forum for members to discuss issues affecting the industry nationally and internationally. It also marked a change of guard in the IMF boardroom, with the retirement of two long-serving members.
Hogan Magee of Western Marine and Bernard Gallagher of BJ Marine retired after over 40 years of service.
"Our trade federation is made up of volunteers from within the industry, and giving up time and personal knowledge over 40 years to help promote our industry is a real testament to Bernard and Hogan. The IMF wish them well and is grateful for their dedication to the Irish industry". IMF Chairman, Gerry Salmon told Afloat.
The IMF is a nationally recognised trade association that represents the interests of the marine industry in Ireland.
