The Swilly Sisters’ Shed raised €1,500 for breast cancer research after a chilly October dip at Rathmullan Pier.

The annual Swim in Pink fundraiser attracted a crowd of participants dressed in pink who braved the cold water to support the National Breast Cancer Research Institute in Galway.

Funds were collected through both in‑person contributions and online donations, totalling €1,500.

A spokesperson highlighted that one in seven Irish women and men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and noted that increased funding will aid ongoing research.

The online donation page remains open for further contributions.
