We are eternally grateful to response volunteers

I WISH to highlight the invaluable service that West Cork Rapid Response provides to the people of the region, having experienced at first hand its professionalism and speed when I was involved in a road traffic accident last year.

I was driving my mother home from hospital along the road between Bandon and Timoleague. My car skidded on grit and went out of control, crashing into a pillar and gate on the front passenger side.

I managed to get out of the car, but my mother’s door was jammed solid up against the pillar.
