Heading abroad this summer?

Make sure to save the local emergency phone numbers before you travel. Hopefully you wont need them, but it's better to be safe!

Have we missed your holiday destination? ✈️

The eagle eyed amougst you may have noticed that we have replaced the cabinets at SuperValu Rush and Martins Shop with these swanky new units. The old ones were getting a bit corroded by the sea air of Rush.

Also, huge thanks to Tony Walsh for his hard work installing them.

Also the SuperValu Rush AED has been replaced and is back available whenever it is needed.

15/07/2026

Please be aware that the AED at SuperValu Rush is currently unavailable. We'll get one back there as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone who came to the opening night event at the The Millbank Theatre for the showing of The Ulster American. It was throughly enjoyable, and raised €1000 for consumables for the RCFR group.
