As you may know we are starting work on our new mountain rescue base. The rescue base is the result of years of planning, fundraising and a major effort from the “Glen” team. The base will comprise of a fully enclosed and secured vehicle storage area, a rescue equipment cleaning, drying and storage facility, a training Room, and an operations room with all the necessary communications equipment to provide coordination and backup for complicated or extended emergencies.

Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue
The Glen of Imaal Red Cross Mountain Rescue Team was formed in 1983, when the need for a quick response local mountain rescue team was identified. During that year, there were 3 accidents in the area in quick succession - one of which was fatal.
Our primary response area covers all mountains in county Wicklow. We are also asked to assist neighbouring teams such as Dublin/Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team and the South East Mountain Rescue Association outside that primary area.
The founding members of the team while seeking first-aid support and training, contacted the Irish Red Cross Society, and recognising the merits of such a connection, became a branch of the society.
The aim of this site is also to give an insight into the workings of a mountain rescue team and the organisation and evolution of organised mountain rescue in Ireland.
We endeavour to keep this site up to date, if you notice anything amiss or have any ideas, please contact the This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
