COOLMORE Stud is making a substantial three-year financial commitment to Irish Community Rapid Response (ICRR), the charity running Ireland’s first community funded air ambulance.

“The air ambulance has been called upon on several occasions to tend to fallen jockeys, the most well-known of which was Davy Mullins last October in Thurles. In the racing and breeding industry, we are comforted by the knowledge that we can have such high levels of advance paramedic care at our side in minutes,” said a representative of Coolmore.
