Ms Aileen Nolan:

Deputy Brady asked us to confirm that 22 units have ACDOs at the moment. That is correct. There are three more in training which will bring the figure to 25. There will then be three left, and it will be up to the local authority in each case to consider whether it wants to have an ACDO. There will be just three left once those three are trained.

The next question related to overlapping duties when it comes to firefighting. We were asked whether the Civil Defence has a role in fighting gorse fires and so on. I will ask Mr. Dillon to answer that one.
