Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:10 pm
Mr. Seán Hogan:
We train our personnel in how to manage gorse fires which pose a particular set of difficulties. We always have in mind the safety of our fire fighters because gorse fires can be very dangerous. We have a process and procedures in place which include the development of fire breaks as needed, but that is left to the judgment of the local station officer.
