Such a disappointment that faced our crews this morning as they arrived for training. The access control for our building had been smashed by a large rock overnight. While our helmsmen and DLAs have remote access to the main and side doors, this type of senseless destruction that could cause a delay in the event of an emergency tasking, a delay where seconds matter.
So if you have kids who were in Ballybunion yesterday, Saturday the 30th of May, we need your help. We have the offenders clearly on camera, both from the side camera (shown in the photo circled) and the rear camera. The males who did the destruction, and the females who obviously thought it was funny can be clearly identified. The photograph with the yellow circle is a cropped photo showing the rock in mid air. We have it cropped so as not to identify those involved
It occurred at 21:31hrs (and 42 seconds). Please speak to the young people in your family and see if they were involved.
If you did the damage or were involved in the damage, we would ask that you contact us as soon as possible. We would rather educate people as to what this could mean for our service rather than report it to An Garda Síochána, however due to how dangerous this act was, we will have no choice but to report it to the Gardaí if the offenders do not come forward of their own accord.
We do not intend on publishing the screen captures of the offenders as to do so would jeopardise any criminal proceedings if it comes to that.
