Yesterday evening after a visit from An Taoiseach, Howth CG unit were out on the cliffs for a rescue exercise with our full-time Training Officers from Coast Guard Head Quarters. The unit performed a casuality recovery exercise in the Baily lighthouse area and were then assessed on their performance.

The senario was a casualty cut off by the tide at the bottom of a cliff and the team was given a limited time to conduct the recovery. The casuality was successfully recovered in the incident and Howth CG were passed clear for cliff rescue.

The Training Officers passed on some valuable advice and guidance on some improvements to our operations all of which were taken on board for future training.
