0 comments Posted by Ray at 11:02 PM

Name: Pat Holland

Lives: Cahir, Co.Tipperary.

Occupation: A lapsed archaeologist, ex-museum curator, now a development officer.

Interests: Still archaeology, history, but moving into psychology/personal development and life coaching over the last few years. Hillwalking, some diving/snorkeling, collecting too many books and leylandii hedge bashing.

In the team since: sometime in the late 1980’s. Things not so formal then.

Current position in the team: Elder lemon cluttering up the place.

Previous positions held: Deputy Team leader, Chairman, Trainee co-coordinator, pyrotechnic tester, IMRA Chairman.

Lowlights: driving home one night knowing we had not found the casualty on one of my early call outs was a sobering occasion.

Highlights: Finding the lost person! Being part of a great team that cares for each other and for the casualty. Witnessing the amazing achievements of skilled professional volunteers on major call outs. Knowing that the people coming after me know more than I did then.
