Thats the problem, they arent, asked around a few other units & details are still sketchy... But sure it will all get ironed out next week!

Most of Region 10 would be there I would imagine given that it's their area.

Never got the impression that they were that bad. Of course the local unit gets first shout at places but most units round the country get to send a few heads.

There was lads from Armagh there last year.

I'll be there, I think. Still waiting to hear what shift(s).

Do we go down each day then home after the shift, or stay there? Someone mentioned a staff campsite. Asked Duty Officer but he's not sure either.

miju

details were finalised earlier today, info going to OCs tomorrow

Mycroft H

There is camping in the staff campsite we were told.

We had use of the rugby club last year, I don't think we have it this year. The only definite is the staff campsite. Suppose it saves on fuel and having shuttles between stradbally and portlaoise.

We'll hear more during the week

Does anybody know the total number of people treated over the 4 days? or the total number admitted to the medical tent.
