Tom's link indicates that the funds are being raised for the Cromer Lifeboat Crew Fund, I would take that to be a specific local use of funds within the RNLI.Cromer Lifeboat

I would therefore not expect this to directly benefit lifeboats in Ireland, though to quote the RNLI website, "The RNLI is the charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland." a rare example of an institution which functions in both countries' waters.

Several good artists on that recording, looks like pretty good value even without the charity element.
