As a voluntary group, the Order of Malta has been active in the Carlow area since 1938. Working closely with the local community, the Carlow Unit has contributed thousands of hours in carrying out the mission of the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps by making a difference in society through providing:

•Community Care
•First Aid & Nursing Service
•Youth Development
•Personal Development

in a Christi

an, caring and non-discriminatory environment. Today the Unit provides First Aid, Ambulance and Training Services to groups and organisations in the area. Both our vehicles are well equipped (including AEDs) and our members are trained in line with Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council standards, meaning we can offer various levels of cover for any event you may have. Events which the Unit has covered in recent history include:
• Dr Cullen Park - GAA matches
• Gowran Park Racecourse - In conjunction with our colleagues in the Kilkenny Unit
• Charity Fun Runs/Swims
• The Tullow Show
• Carlow Autograss - Stock car racing
• The National Ploughing Championships


We provide a variety of certified and non-certified courses such as basic life support (BLS) and basic first aid, through to PHECC Cardiac First Responder - Community level and Occupational First Aid (OFA). Many of our courses can be tailored to suit particular needs, such as paediatric emergencies or dealing with elderly patients. Email [email protected] for more information. All the work we do for the community is founded upon the time and generosity of our volunteers, who give countless hours every year through duties and weekly training to support the unit and make a difference to society. We are always looking for new members and for your time, we will give you the training and competency to provide life-saving skills, as well as developing your leadership and confidence to allow you to remain calm in an emergency. If this interests you, and you are 16 and above email [email protected] with the word 'Recruit' in the subject line.

A great day covering the Tullow Show this year! 🚑

A special thank you to Order of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Harolds Cross from Dublin and the Order Of Malta Ireland - Ambulance Corps - Rathdrum unit from Wicklow for assisting us in providing medical cover throughout the show.

The Tullow Show was a fantastic community event, bringing people together for a great day out. It was a very well-put-together event, and we were delighted to play our part in providing medical cover and supporting the community throughout the day.

🚑 Welcoming the Newest Addition to Our Fleet 🚑

We are delighted to officially welcome our newest ambulance to the Order of Malta Carlow Unit. This second-hand ambulance, kindly transferred from our colleagues in the Order of Malta Limerick Unit, will allow us to continue providing first aid and ambulance services to the people of Carlow at community events, sporting fixtures, and public gatherings.

To complete the vehicle, we were fortunate to receive a generous donation from Carlow Credit Union, which funded the new Carlow Unit branding. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Just A Sign Carlow for their outstanding work in applying the graphics and helping the ambulance look its very best.

As a voluntary organisation, we are proud to continue serving our community, but we couldn’t do it without the support of local businesses and the public. While this ambulance is a welcome addition to our fleet, we are continuing our fundraising efforts towards a newer, more modern ambulance that will allow us to meet the growing needs of our community for years to come.

If you would like to support our work, please contact [email protected]. Every donation, big or small, goes directly back into helping us serve the people of Carlow.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Order of Malta Carlow Unit. Together, we can continue making a difference across County Carlow. 🚑
