Dublin to Kinsale Charity Cycle
This September 9th Fire-Ireland will be joining just under 100 cyclists (50 Firefighters from Ireland and 40 FDNY FFs from New York) and we'll be cycling 312kms over 3 days from Dublin to the Ringfinnan 9/11 Garden in Kinsale, County Cork
As someone who has been involved in organising this event since last December it's been a mammoth task to get to where we are highlighted by the fact the US Ambassador to Ireland will be launching the event from her Residence in the Phoenix Park. The Charity the US team are cycling for is Friends of Firefighters in NYC The Irish team are cycling for Aoibhainns Pink Tie who are the National Kids Cancer Charity and do amazing work for families with kids dealing with cancer.
I've met with the joint founder Jimmy Norman who set up the charity after his 8yr old daughter lost her life to cancer and the work he and the charity do is second to none So if you'd like to support Fire-Ireland and the team please drop me a DM and we can arrange sponsorship or scan via Revolut QR code pictured below

The driver of an articulated lorry escaped injury after his vehicle ploughed through a crash barrier destroying a long segment of the safety rail on Sunday 30th June. The truck’s cab remained on its side on the hard shoulder however its trailer was left hanging down a steep embankment. It’s understood the truck was not carrying a load at the time.
The single vehicle collision occurred at around 9.00am in the southbound lanes of the motorway on the Ennis side of Junction 15 at Crusheen. Units of Clare County Fire and Rescue Service from Ennis and Shannon stations responded to the scene along with National Ambulance Service paramedics and Gardaí. The truck driver was assessed at the scene by paramedics but was found to be uninjured and didn’t require hospitalisation. ~The Clare Herald
