The lead responsibility for specific emergency planning functions remains with the relevant lead Departments and those bodies under their aegis. Emergency plans are co-ordinated and exercised by the various lead Departments at a national level and through the local authorities, including the fire services, the Health Service Executive and the Garda divisions at regional and local level. The publication of details pertaining to specific exercises is a matter for the lead Department and the relevant public authorities concerned.
