Local First Aid Training in Foynes

Foynes is a small town in County Limerick, situated on the southern bank of the Shannon Estuary. It has a population of 512 (2022 census) and lies on the N69 coast road. Economically, Foynes is dominated by port activity. The Shannon Foynes Port Company operates Ireland's second-largest port facility, handling over 10 million tonnes of cargo annually. Historically, Foynes was a major transatlantic aviation hub during the late 1930s and 1940s, with the first transatlantic proving flights in July 1937. The Foynes Flying Boat Museum now occupies the former terminal, where Irish Coffee was reportedly invented in 1943. First aid training in Foynes needs to support the port, the maritime sector, and the heritage trade.
