Glendalough(23/05/10)

Wicklows Mountain Rescue teams were this afternoon requested to assist the Eastern Regional Ambulance Services in extracting a young male who had sustained injuries to his head and arm following a fall in Glendalough.

The pre-teen from the South County Dublin had been enjoying the good weather along with his family when he slipped and fell from an embankment alongside what is known as the Green Road in Glendalough.

The Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue Team and Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team responded to the scene with specialist equipment to safely move the casualty to an awaiting ambulance for transportation to hospital.
 

How you can help

All team members give their time on a voluntary basis, and we rely on the generosity of the public for our operations. To make a donation from any bank just use back account number 59244771, sort code 90-65-07. Our registered charity number is CHY.3950.

 

Pager Appeal

To alert as many members as possible at the beginning of an incident the team uses the Eirpage paging system as well as mobile phone texting. While mobile phone coverage is excellent in urban and most rural areas, we are still dependant on pagers in the remote mountainous areas to get that important message through. Unfortunately, because of the reduced use of paging in the comercial world, paging receivers are becoming expensive and hard to get. The Team is in urgent need for your unused Motorola MemoExpress Pagers. If you have any sitting around in office drawers etc. they may be of use to us. Please contact the Communications Officer at noledaly@gmail.com  if you would like to donate them to the team.
