Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Update on Civil Defence: Discussion

Mr. Fergal Conroy:

Yes. That can be done and it has been done. Last October or November, we had a call on the Laois-Offaly border. I had only just moved but I was called from Laois to assist because I knew the area. The person was tracked using a phone signal. It was a person who knew the area well but the evening fell fast. The person decided it was time to call for help and the help arrived.
