Dr. Woolhead delivered a fascinating insight into the work carried out by the Irish Army in helping the thousands of people whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Mitch. This was a massive Category Four/Five Hurricane which wreaked havoc as it scored a direct hit over the Honduras.

Ms Stokes gave a comprehensive and beautifully illustrated and delivered introduction to Hurricanes; their nomenclature, tracks, spawning grounds etc. which had the large audience enthralled.
It was a privilige (and a novelty) for the Society to be guests of Dr Woolhead and the Irish Army in the Cathal Brugha Barracks in Rathmines.
