I beleive the reserve med corps are in McKee Barracks or St. Bricin's hospital, parading on Tuesday nights. Head over to Bricin's and ask the guy at the gate, he'll have their number.

Not sure about the Medics....... I've been around them, I think they're in Brickins or maybe Cathal Brugha.

Any questions ya have about the 65 just PM me.

I presume the Reserve Medical Companies have been absorbed into the Logs Battalions. So contact the Logs bn in your Bde area.

I was in the Slua in Cork for two years, but because of work never really could make a go of it, sadly.

At the same time, my ex who was a medical student served in a medic unit in Cork - in the FCA.

Just contact your local RDF/FCA command and ask

It's at St. Bricin's Military Hospital, Infirmary Rd-just off Parkgate Street.

We parade on tuesday nights from 8 to 10, just head up on tuesday night and they'll sort it out, they're back parading so they'll be someone there.

If you want the recuiting Sergeant's number to have a chat about it just PM me.

Well I have to say I like medics a lot. I have never met a medic I didn't like I have to say.

are there no medics based outside dublin, this unit would be perfect for me. surely there are medics based in the curragh

All the medical units are located in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Clonmel and Galway.
The medical corps in Dublin is located near Heuston Station though.

Bricin's is on the Chopping block though isn't it?

They may have to move the RDF unit!

no... what is meant here is the medical corps of the reserve defence forces.. you would be thinking of voluntary services there

Apologies for the earlier gaffe. And I like the fact that no one pointed it out. So I have gotten away with it.

Phew! But all the contact details for the RDF Medical Corps unit in Dublin are on that page. And its quite a good page too.
