Garda Safety Clinic
We had a very worthwhile Garda Safety Clinic on Sunday 8th March afternoon in the Long Room of Trinity Church, and it was great to see so many of our members there. Many thanks to our Community Gardaí who gave a very clear and practical presentation on ways we can all stay a bit safer in our daily lives. A significant part of the session focused on using the Garda Síochána Property App for which there QR code in this document if you would like to download it. They also gave tips on protecting your phone itself.
They also showed us how to set up emergency contact and medical details on our phones, so that in the event of an accident or emergency, first responders can access important information even if we are unable to unlock our phones ourselves. It’s a small step, but one that could make a real difference.
We hope to organise further sessions in the future.
