This was organised by the Dublin Civil Defence. Our flank stations of Howth and Drogheda also took part in the training.

The exercise was based on the scenario of a mass evacuation required across the estuary. The Coast Guard teams provided support in the form of rescue boats, shore teams and the Coast Guard helicopter.
