Civil Defence plays a key role in the resilience of our communities.
I was delighted to visit Meath Civil Defence HQ recently and meet with many of its members.
Thank you to the over 130 members who volunteer their time 👏🏻

Very sad to report the passing of retired AFS Commander Michael Carroll. He served Civil Defence and his Community with distinction. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues.
Volunteers attended regional Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) training yesterday in Navan. This was hosted by @MeathCivil and delivered by Meath Fire Service. Several counties took part including Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Cavan & Donegal.

Great turn out at our Civil Defence Volunteer Seminar in Tullamore this Saturday. Powerful sessions from Stuart of Volunteer Ireland, John of National Ambulance Service and Margo of South Infirmary Victoria Hospital, Cork
@meathcivil was out in force last night delivering much needed water supplies to homes affected in the aftermath of #StormÉowyn.
A massive thank you to all Civil Defence volunteers for their ongoing efforts in difficult conditions.
New Command & Support Unit
We took delivery of a new specially equipped vehicle this week to support the delivery of our services, in particular our #EmergencyResponse & #Search&Rescue deployments
The unit represents a significant investment from @CivilDefenceIRL & @MayoCoCo👏
Celebrating @MeathCivilDefence for #YourCouncilDay. Thanks to the volunteers for all their hard work to help communities throughout the County and beyond.
