Last week, Members of the CMU, National Ambulance Service @AmbulanceNAS , @dfreserve Army Reserve, Air Corps, Ordnance Corps and @CivilDefenceIRL, participated in 'Exercise Cuchulainn', a multi-agency Major Incident exercise in the DFTC involving over 100 personnel. The main objective was to exercise DF and HSE paramedics in the management of a complex mass casualty/major incident. This scenario was based on the London Bridge terror attack in 2017, and was replicated on the ground in the MTF, DFTC.
This exercise was planned and executed by the CMU.

A ten-year-old Dublin schoolgirl has shared the story of her life-changing lockdown. Kate Nangle was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in April, but she is quickly getting to grips with her "new normal".
I encourage anyone who has received an invitation to participate in the #COVID19 Antibody Study (SCOPI) to respond.
It involves a phone questionnaire & blood test.
This will help us understand our populations exposure to COVID-19 & will help us in our response to the disease.
