Episode Details

Clare Civil Defence has been recognised for its decades of dedicated voluntary service to communities across the county with a special Civic Reception hosted by Clare County Council this week.     For generations, Civil Defence volunteers have provided vital support during emergencies, severe weather events, public gatherings and search and rescue operations, giving countless hours of their time to help keep people safe.     The reception was an opportunity to acknowledge not only the organisation's long history of service, but also the commitment, professionalism and community spirit of its volunteers.     Joining Alan Morrissey earlier was Steven Hayes, Civil Defence Officer with Clare County Council, to reflect on the honour and the work of the organisation.
