Ring buoys save lives. They should only be pulled Ring buoys save lives. They should only be pulled from their holders in emergency situations and returned afterwards to their holders. Not dumped upstream, on the opposite bank of the river. Edit: we were contacted by someone who let us know that the buoy was used in this instance by a group of lads to help one of their own who got into difficulty. Thankfully all are safe. #loveirishpaddling #kayaking #adventuresligo #sligo #Sligowhoknew
