If you're out on or in the water this weekend, please follow advice from @IWSie on how to stay safe. If you see someone in danger in the water or on the coast, call Irish Coast Guard on 999 or 112 - the operator can also send an ambulance if needed.
Thanks Dublin Fire Brigade for hosting us at Phibsborough today, a very informative morning. Looking forward to more of these.
