3.4 STAKEHOLDER LIAISON &
INTER-AGENCY COLLABORATION 2023

Dublin Fire Brigade is proud and appreciative of an excellent working relationship
with multiple stakeholders, with whom we liaise and collaborate on a regular basis.

This interaction happens through regular communication, agreeing Memorandums
of Understanding, co-ordination on policy issues and, most importantly, training
and exercising together. This regular Inter-Agency collaboration ensures the
most efficient deployment of resources and simultaneous activity at operational
incidents, which enhances our combined ability to respond to and serve the
community in an effective manner. DFB’s stakeholders include the following:

The National Ambulance Service (HSE)
An Garda Síochána

The Irish Coastguard & The RNLI
The Four Dublin Local Authorities
Other Regional Local Authorities

The Civil Defence
All Dublin Hospital Emergency Departments

Government Departments & Agencies
Department of Defence

Transport Agencies - Dublin Bus, Luas, Irish Rail,
Dublin Port Tunnel, Dublin Airport

Dublin Fire Brigade coordinates major inter-agency exercises and local district
exercises to improve co-ordination of service delivery across multi-agencies and
ensures a co-ordinated and consistent response to large scale emergencies.
