Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Role and Functions: Discussion with Civil Defence Board

11:20 am

Mr. Brian Spain:

We have a training centre at our headquarters in Roscrea and another in the old headquarters in the Phoenix Park. Most of the training is provided in-house by Ms McGuire and her team. The idea behind this is that we train instructors who in turn train volunteers in the local units. However, in certain cases we do not have the required skills in-house and would have to engage outside contractors. I will ask Ms McGuire to comment further on that issue. We often have to engage outside people in the search and rescue area.
