Yea saw that, was probably super from Bray,

There was a serious amount of rescue teams. Here's the list I reckon

Garda
HSE Ambulance
FIre Service (at least 3 fire pumps) maybe Kildare and Wicklow Fire Service
DWMRT
Glen of Imal
SE MT rescue
Garda Heli
Air Corp Heli
Coastgurard Heli

Sad for the family but at least all efforts were put in.
