Last night the Irish Coast Guard unit based at Howth Harbour undertook a medical exercise with the Irish Red Cross. A number of qualified & trainee Emergency Medical Technicians including the 4 and paramedic from our own unit were lowered into Whitewater Brook by our heights rescue team.
Once foot access by steps was confirmed, over 40 personnel from the two organisations joined the effort to triage, treat, and evacuate 8 serious trauma victims with injuries sustained from rockfall on the beach.

Thank you to the Irish Red Cross for providing medical personnel, and the patients for the evening. Our team were able to gain a lot of experience assisting you as medics.
