Ms Emer Dalton:

On the mentoring piece, I will give some examples of how the Department works on the ground. We have a technical section within the Civil Defence branch of the Department and we have a communications officer. They are on the road quite a bit.

Regarding successes in recent times, the drone or sonar capabilities will be rolled out across counties. There is a lot of mentoring on that site, as there is equally on the training site.
