Charleville & Mallow Red Cross

The Charleville Mallow Branch of the Irish Red Cross (IRC) has been in existence for almost seventy years, founded initially in 1940, and stayed in existence until the end of World War II in 1945. The Branch reconvened in 1951 and has remained in existence ever since.

  • Humanitarian and disaster responses at local, regional, national and international major emergencies.
