Dundalk Order of Malta win top prizes at national finals

-

THERE was reason to celebrate at Dundalk Order of Malta recently as one member of the unit took home top prize in her category from the National Competitio­ns held in Limerick.

Cpl. Michelle McCabe placed individual E.M.T category.

That was not it for Michelle as she was also on the Drogheda team who won 3rd place in the Ambulance test and first place in the overall competitio­n.

All this shows what can be achieved when joining the Order of Malta!

Michelle joined the unit a number of years ago with little or no first aid experience and had worked her way up to the level of E.M.T and the rank of Corporal with the support of the unit.

All at Dundalk unit would like to congratula­te Michelle and the other members on their success.

As one of Ireland’s largest voluntary organisati­ons, the

Order of Malta make a positive contributi­on to hundreds of local communitie­s across the first in the country.

With nearly 4,000 members nationally volunteeri­ng their time to provide first-aid medical services at national and local community events, the Order of Malta also provides training in life-saving skills and delivers community care initiative­s.
