Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Review of Storm Éowyn and Storm Preparedness: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Domhnaill:

Due to communications being down and there being no Wi-Fi or phone signal, it went back to the old style. One of the staff of the Department with responsibility for the Gaeltacht came to my house locally. That was the communication for first 48 hours until we got back online again. TETRA phones were down for the first 24 hours, which is the main contact regarding An Garda Síochána and the fire service. That was a worrying thing at the time.
