Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I too compliment all the staff in Galway County Council and the local farmers in the county. One of my observations, which the Minister could perhaps incorporate into his review, is that despite the talk about a code red alert and a co-ordinated approach, the fire service was available in Offaly and Tipperary, but the fire service in Galway was not on standby. When a co-ordinated approach is considered in the review, can it apply across all county councils so that a template is set for how all county councils can respond when alerts are issued?
