The Ballyfermot Division of The St. John Ambulance Brigade was founded in 1975, as a result of the need to expand Brigade’s activities into local communities. It was, and continues to be, an integral Division in existence due to the continuous dedication of it’s members.

The pioneering work of it’s founders John McGrath (Asst./Comm.) and the late Patrick Lee (D/O) enabled it to be established as the Brigade’s first Combined Division of Men and Women training together. This was a daring challenge that proved highly successful and enabled other Divisions to soon follow suit. Within a short space of time, the Division’s membership has grown to be one of the Brigade’s biggest Divisions, successful on all front’s of Brigade activities.
