Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Update on Civil Defence: Discussion

Ms Aileen Nolan:

Overall responsibility in that regard is not within the remit of Civil Defence. Rather, it is for the EPA and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. We probably cannot answer the Deputy's question. We are happy with the role we play, however, and what we can bring to the party.

The final question related to drone technology and its effectiveness. Ms Dalton will address that issue.
