It was truly moving to see so many people come together in solidarity, compassion, and remembrance, supporting such a meaningful cause.

We extend our sincere thanks to Niamh from the Order of Malta Ireland Ambulance Corps Wexford Unit for her assistance on this duty, and to our colleagues in the Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Bray unit, who provided cover for the Off-Road Motorcycle Event held by Rathdrum Offroad Club in Aughrim.
