DCD were called to a person who had fallen into the River Liffey this Morning. ACDO Hanna donned his dry suit and entered the water while other DCD Volunteers assisted with throw lines. ACDO Hanna stabilized the casualty who had a serious head injury until the DFB arrived.
The DFB used the HiAb crane on D35 with a basket stretcher and DFB SRT attached to effect the rescue of the casualty and Aidan was brought back to the access steps by our rescue boat. All in all it was an excellent example of inter-agency cooperation.

This has been an important weekend for the on-going development of the national Civil Defence K9 resource. Three of our K9 search teams have been undergoing analysis of their training and operational capabilities by Hugh Watson, a dog training expert from the UK. Garda dog unit instructors also attended part of the programme to see the capabilities of Civil Defence in this key area of search assistance. This is part of the development of the Civil Defence search dog policy and the feedback has been very positive.
