75th Anniversary of the Irish Red Cross
Many celebrations have taken place recently to mark the 75th
anniversary of the Irish Red Cross.
Ballinora/Ballincollig along with other Southern branches
attended a service award ceremony in the City Hall on December 7th.
Several dignitaries from the Red Cross attended the ceremony.
The awards varied depending on the number of years a member.
Imelda O’ Connor had the longest service (in excess of 40 years) a member.
While her mum Mrs Hannah Sheahan (fondly known as Ma) has 60 years, she is a
member of the Mallow Branch.
All members present received their awards. This was followed
by a reception. It was a very nice and enjoyable afternoon.
Congratulations to all award recipients and here to the
Branch going from strength to strength over the next 75 years.
