Emergency Communications in Ireland

Radio amateurs from Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare provided emergency communications support for the Ring of Imaal Walk, which was held on the 24th of June in Co. Wicklow.

The walk, which is organised by An Óige, is 35 kilometres long and this year there were 120 participants.

Emergency communications support at five mountain check-points as well as a base station at the walk headquarters in Donard School were provided by the radio amateurs.

Although the weather for the day was poor, with limited visibility, there were no major incidents.

An Óige personnel expressed considerable interest in the value of the communications infrastructure put in place for the event by the radio amateurs.
