Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Palmerstown

A special few days in Lourdes for members of Palmerstown Unit.

From moments of quiet reflection at the Grotto, to lighting candles in prayer and supporting pilgrims throughout the sanctuary, this pilgrimage is a powerful reminder of why we volunteer — in service to “Our Lords the Sick and Our Lords the Poor” with compassion, dignity, and community at the heart of everything we do.

We are proud to represent our community and to stand alongside fellow volunteers and friends, caring for those who need it most while sharing in such a meaningful and spiritual experience.

It’s been another busy weekend with our Volunteers covering a number of events.

Saturday saw us covering Trinity College Rugby as well as the 3Arena and then our crew had an early start today for a duathlon in The Phoenix Park.

It was especially nice to have Ben back covering duties with us for the weekend. We may not let him return to Order Of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Omagh…..

Last night our unit teamed up with the senior unit for an intensive training session to help get ready for this coming Saturday.

The cadets went through various different scenarios with the seniors giving plenty of tips and advice along the way.

It was mix of hard work and fun with both groups learning from the experience.

Today marks the official launch of Medical Mounted Unit, a significant step forward in delivering rapid and effective pre-hospital care in environments where traditional ambulance access may be limited.

The new unit combines skilled medical personnel with specially trained horses, enabling responders to navigate crowded events, urban spaces, parks, and difficult terrain with speed and agility. This approach ensures that patients can receive immediate assessment and care in situations where every second counts.

It’s been a busy weekend for our seeing us cover a variety of events including Rugby in Trinity College, concerts in the 3Arena and finishing with one of our favourite things to do, a community transfer for a very special occasion.

This morning we had the pleasure of escorting Connie to celebrate her 95th Birthday with her friends in the community.

Happy Birthday Connie, we hope you had an amazing day.

2026 sees Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Palmerstown unit back training in the same location of our very first meeting in 1967.

This space enables us to broaden our training abilities and make use of various resources and equipment. This week the focus was on familiarisation of the stretcher and learning how to move a patient safely.
