Declan Conway

Tony Browne

Colm Geraghty

Francis Flatley

Aidan Dever

.

Legendary Westport handyman, stonemason man about town, outdoor enthusiast and generally all round nice guy. Declan is in high demand among the best social circles of Coveyland.

The mustachioed one - Tony's wealth of experience both on the mountain and at base makes him a much valued link in the mountain rescue chain.

Long running member who is also active in the FCA/Reserve Defence Forces. Has served the team faithfully both as chairman and team leader in the past.

Probationary Member Francis is a native of Belcarra and has a wealth of mountaineering and outdoor experience from his time in the reserve defence forces. Has been known to sing Daniel O Donnell ballads under duress!

His experience of running his own cleaning business ensures that Aidan tolerates no crap. A stalwart member of the team, known affectionately as Mr Grumpy.

Desera McDonagh

Greg Dyar

Courtney Tarmey

James McIntyre

Sinead Lennon
(Medical Coordinator)

Galway Native Desera forewent her career as an EMT to go back to GMIT in Castlebar to study Outdoor Education. Has recently taken up sea kayaking and plans to circumnavigate the polar icecaps before they disappear!!

Living within the shadow of Croagh Patrick, Greg has yet to revel much about himself so we won't risk libeling him here! His famous legover at Ballyryan however has already entered the annals of MMRT.

Courtney's Reek Sunday Chilli has gained fame and notoriety far and wide, as well as investigation by the UN's Weapons of Mass destruction taskforce. Surprisingly this badge of honour did not prevent him becoming team Treasurer in 2006.

Donegal Native James found his niche in the cliffs of Achill where he worked as an instructor in the VEC Outdoor Education Centre at Cashel. Now reintegrated back into academia at GMIT Castlebar

A native of Dublin who has also spent some time in the American Pacific North West, thankfully Sinead has opted to forego Seattle and her native durty oul town to become a Covey and soothe the whole team with her physiotherapy skills.

Michael Coyne

Brian Spellman

Pat Murphy

Simon Kavanagh

Mary Farnham 

Part of the Cornamona Mafia: This Galway native turned his back on his home team to join MMRT, cos it was obvious we were better craic. When not climbing the Twelve Pins might be spied driving his Minibus Taxi around Galway.

The other half of the Cornamona Mafia: His imposing height and command of Latvian has been known to strike terror in to the hardest of men who obviously don't know his reputation as a gentle giant.

Described in one word: Quiet, Pat kicks ass when it come to rock climbing though. Has climbed extensively in Scotland and Europe.

Simon's bewildered introduction to MMRT as a probationary member involved him being lowered down a rock face as a rescuer, where he discovered there's a first time for everything and it wasn't so bad at all after all.

Mary's pleasant feminity, combined with that of the other female members of the team, helps to keep the adrenalin, testosterone and bravado of most of the lads in check and certainly makes for a prettier team overall. Has been known to throw pots for fun

Dick Harnedy

Anne Marie Tiernan

Ian Bracewell

Noel McNamara

Pat O Hora

He may appear over the hill in more ways than one but Dick brings a lifetime experience of Hill walking to the team as a probationary member.

Native of Louisburgh, romance and the need to get away from The Reek has brought probationary member Anne Marie to Claremorris. MMRT has brought her back again!

We don't know an awful lot about probationary member Ian yet except that he's a native of some little village near Bradford who has decamped to another little village near Ballina. When we found out more we'll let you know!!

Probationary Member Noel is a Native of Westport but has temporarily decamped to the Fishhead town of Castlebar which in some circles could be considered treasonable.

Probationary Member Pat is a member of the Gardai based in Westport. He brings a wealth of experience and the strength of ten men to the team.
