Last night, our duty crew, together with Meath Fire Service, assisted the Dublin Fire Brigade in responding to a scrapyard fire in Ballyboughal.

Well done to all agencies involved. The teamwork, professionalism and commitment shown by crews on the ground ensured the incident was safely de-escalated, helping to protect the local community.

Today we celebrate Dermot Maguire, who hangs up his helmet after 37 years with the Airport Fire Service. Dermot wasn’t just a firefighter and airport Police officer before that — he was a paramedic, mentor, instructor, and friend to so many. His work delivering CFR community courses helped shape the skills and confidence of airport staff across generations. Dermot’s humour, kindness, and steady hand in every situation made him someone we all looked up to. He’ll be missed more than words can say, but we’re excited to see him enjoy the next chapter with Ann and your family .Happy retirement, Dermot — you’ve earned every minute.
