June 28, 2025

THE country's most senior officials will be enrolled into a new emergency alert system that will quickly gather decision-makers in the event of large-scale emergencies.

- BY LOUISE BURNE

The new app, which the Irish Mirror understands was discussed on Wednesday by the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning, will be able to send alerts even if the phone is silenced in extremely severe emergencies.

The Government Task Force on Emergency Planning "coordinates and oversees the emergency planning activities of all government departments and public authorities".
