A Huge Thank You to Adrain at Peyton Solar ❤️

On behalf of our voluntary group, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Adrain from Peyton Solar for his generous donation of defibrillator pads.

This kind gesture means so much to our group and will help us continue our efforts to support and protect our communities.

CPR and access to a defibrillator can make a life-saving difference when someone suffers a cardiac arrest. Having the right equipment available, alongside people who are willing to step forward and help, can give someone a second chance at life.

Adrain’s generosity is a wonderful example of community spirit in action. It is through the kindness and support of local businesses and individuals that voluntary groups like ours can continue to make a real difference.

Thank you, Adrain and everyone at Peyton Solar, for supporting our group and helping us keep our communities safer. Your generosity is truly appreciated! 👏❤️

As we enter the start of our busiest season, I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of our responders who has attended calls throughout the year. Your commitment, dedication, and willingness to give up your own time to help others does not go unnoticed.

The past seven days have been particularly challenging for our responders, with six cardiac arrests attended in just seven days, two of which resulted in a successful ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation).

These calls can be physically and emotionally demanding, and they highlight the importance of the work we do and the difference we can make in our community. We have also had the privilege of working alongside other response groups and emergency services, witnessing first-hand what can be achieved when everyone comes together as one team.
To the off-duty paramedics, off duty EMT,'s ,Mayo County Fire Service , Air Ambulance, on-duty/ off duty doctors, An Garda Síochána Mayo , and the Advanced Paramedics, Paramedics from the National Ambulance Service and every other responder groups involved, thank you for your professionalism, teamwork, dedication, and support on every call we attend together. Every person plays a vital role, and it is through this combined effort that we give patients the best possible chance.

As we head into the busy season, please remember to look after yourselves and each other. You are all making a difference, and you should be proud of the work you do. ❤️

We're experiencing a high volume of emergency calls this evening (Friday 9 October).

Our incredible ambulance crews, call-takers and support staff are working around the clock to respond to those who need us most.

You can help by only calling in a real emergency. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider contacting your GP, local pharmacy, GP Out of Hours service or attending an Injury Unit where appropriate.

If you do need to call 999 or 112, please stay calm, answer the call taker's questions and follow any instructions they provide. This helps us get the right care to the right patient as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our teams continue to provide emergency care across the country.

09/10/2026

At the end of September, we had 361 active Community First Responder (CFR) groups across the country, up from 344 at the same time last year.

That growth reflects the continued commitment of volunteers who give their time to support their local communities and provide vital assistance while an ambulance is on the way.

Is mór againn an obair a dhéanann ár CFRs ar fud na tíre, go raibh maith agaibh go léir. 💚

Back to school is just around the corner, so we're urging all motorists to take care on the roads, particularly near schools and in built up areas.

Be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists, we all share the road.

We'd ask parents to ensure that your child is visible when walking or cycling to school, and if you're driving always make sure everyone has put on their seat belts.

Cuimhnigh, tóg go bog é agus tiomáin go cúramach.
