About Civil Defence

Sligo Civil Defence continues to ‘Meet the Challenges of a Changing World’ 

The organisation is widely regarded and respected by the local community, and has attracted many plaudits for the efficiency and professionalism with which it carries out its duties. 

Sligo Civil Defence personnel attend numerous events throughout the year, and provide first aid and ambulance cover at many important sporting and community events.

Volunteers are trained in a range of skills and techniques, and they have been an important presence at events such as the Special Olympic Games in Dublin, the Westlife concert in Sligo and the Ryder Cup at the K Club.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer should contact Sligo Civil Defence Officer Marion Davis.  Training classes are held in seven centres throughout the county, and are open to people between the ages of 18 and 65.
