1000 Children See our Demo and Receive our Safety Messages

In their last week of term, we have visited three schools in the county: Tulla National School, Quin National School and Holy Family School, Ennis. Members of the Doolin and Killaloe units of the Irish Coast Guard were on hand to show the children our rescue equipment, which included a D Class boat, mobile command trailer, underwater camera, climbing equipment, first aid kit and search gear. The children also watched a short audiovisual presentation which included safety messages for those taking to the water or visiting mountainous areas such as the Burren. By the end of the visits, nearly 1000 children had taken part.
