West Cork Rapid Response Visit

West Cork Rapid Response Critical Care Jeep Visit 2024 🚨

On Monday 20th May, we were very lucky to have the West Cork Rapid Response Critical Care jeep visit us in school. 🚑 This is a fantastic resource in our community and it is completely voluntary. How lucky are we to have this resource on our doorstep if we need it?

All children were invited to explore the jeep and see each of the different compartments that the jeep has. It was smiles all around! 😊

Thanks to Kate, Betty and Liam for their care and attention and for giving up their morning to come in to us. We really appreciate it! The sound of the sirens impressed everyone! 🚨
