Our training deals mostly with the skills referred to in the Level 2 and Safety Boat programmes. The Monaghan crew consists of members with level 2, Safety Boat and Advanced Power Boating qualifications. Several of our crew are also qualified to operate VHF Marine Band radios. Crew members have varying levels of first aid.<\/p><p>Over the past number of years we have organised, successful, regional exercises with counties Cavan, Meath and Louth. The scenarios at these exercises have not only included the skills relating to the above mentioned programmes but also G.P.S.&amp; first aid.<\/p><p>The Monaghan Boat Unit is a regular visitor to Slane, helping out patrolling the river during concerts. Civil Defence provide crews to assist Monaghan County Council in monitoring lakes within the county at specific times during the year. Needless to say, the crew is always ready for a call-out- mostly search and recovery. The call generally comes from An Garda Siochana via the Civil Defence Officer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1d6b0a elementor-repeater-item-none elementor-repeater-item-none_hover elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1d6b0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you are interested in joining the Civil Defence please send your contact details to one of the following email addresses:<\/p><p>Email:<strong> <a href=\"mailto:bmccreery@monaghancoco.ie\">bmccreery@monaghancoco.ie<\/a>\u00a0 <span class=\"cf0\">Civil Defence Officer<\/span> <\/strong><\/p><p>Email :<strong> <a href=\"mailto:keith.murphy@monaghancoco.ie\">keith.murphy@monaghancoco.ie<\/a>\u00a0 Assistance Civil Defence Officer<\/strong><\/p><p>or\u00a0 telephone: <a href=\"tel:003534781100\"><strong>047 81100<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search &amp; Rescue The Civil Defence missing persons search responder service is very valuable within any community.
