Introduction
 Although
in terms of active numbers C Company is probably the smallest element
of the Battalion, we make a significant contribution to the unit as a
whole. We have centres in Wicklow Town, Arklow and Tinahely, but our members
come from a wide variety of backgrounds and parts of County Wicklow.
C Company was originally
formed by the amalgamation of A & C Companies of 21 Infantry Battalion
(FCA) with centres in Wicklow and Bray, but 2006 saw the reopening of
centres in Arklow and Tinahely, while the Bray centre became part of HQ
Company.
In the past relatively
a large number of personnel from C Company have gone onto be successful
in their applications to the join the PDF, Gardai and other forces. Arguably
the reason behind this maybe the commitment and loyalty to each other
unique to the family atmosphere within C Company, in addition to the training
and experiences they have received in their time with us.
