Update on Civil Defence: Discussion
Mr. Fergal Conroy:
To follow on from that, radiation monitoring is the service that has been ongoing longest since the organisation was founded in 1950. As Ms Dalton stated, the meters and other equipment were upgraded to more modern technology in recent years. Going forward, we can use iPads and laptops and so on when taking readings. We carry out annual radiation monitoring for the EPA. It is a good training exercise. The equipment is checked regularly. This year, an annual inspection and training are planned to take place in June or July.
