I thank both fire officers for being here today and for sharing their expertise. I also thank all of their teams for everything that they do day in and day out to keep people safe across this country but particularly across Dublin, including my own local authority of South Dublin County Council. Both of our guests have been very articulate in describing why their experience, expertise and knowledge is so important. Their real life examples makes them best placed to provide feedback that shapes the review.
Mr. Keeley has outlined nine themes that should be included or strengthened in the final document. I ask him to please elaborate on what needs changing in those themes so that we can advocate on behalf of the fire brigade.
