Unfortunately I have to leave but my view is that there is a lot of technical material here under different headings. An emergency is different from an ongoing situation. I cannot see one avoiding, legally and from an insurance point of view, compliance. To comply is a no-brainer, that is the end of the story and it is the law of the land.

I make a plea that we have a working group of all of the parties: local authorities, partnerships, Departments, insurers, and whatever appropriate parties, to sort out the manual that we need, in order that everybody can get the resources and training to comply. The world, it seems to me, is on its head. If it does require sophisticated signage, that is the way it is but the Tús workers should provide that and the voluntary workers should cut the grass.
