A Red Cross volunteer - why he loves his job

JAMES McDonnell always knew he would volunteer with the Irish Red Cross in Tralee. There was no decision to be made.

His family has been associated with the organisation for three generations.

His grandmother Kitty McDonnell was one of the founding members in the 1950s; his grand aunt Peggy was heavily involved, too. And his parents both started volunteering with the organisation at the age of 16.
