Members of the Dundalk Unit of the Order of Malta
At their recent AGM held in their premises in Mill Street, members of Dundalk Order Of Malta were told that the demand for their services had increased in 2023 compared to 2022.
A total of 2,593 man hours were clocked up by members in 2023 compared to 2473 in 2022.
Most of these hours were clocked up at horse racing in Dundalk Stadium with Dundalk FC games in Oriel Park and 3Arena duties coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. GAA, athletics, cycling and community duties including patient transfers also formed part of their workload.
A spokesperson for the Dundalk branch said that the increase in demand will require more recruits, saying:
“With 43 race meetings scheduled for Dundalk Stadium in 2024 it looks like the demand on the services will increase again in 2024.
“With that in mind we are looking to recruit new members to help with the increase in demand for the services.
“There is no requirement for members to have first aid experience as all training will be provided. If you have experience then that is an advantage.
“We are also looking to upgrade our ambulance fleet this year. We currently have two ambulance’s which are in need of upgrading and we hope to hold some fundraising later in the year to help with this as a new ambulance costs in the region of €90,000 to €100,000.
“For more information on Joining or if you would like to help with fundraising you can contact us through Facebook or by phone on 085 127 2550 or 085 266 0895.”
