    If you're not at Oxygen now, there'll be trouble.

    Meanwhile the event, ask whoever is sending you.

    Otherwise read this: http://www.garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=3971

    Dont know about this year but last year we all parked at a designated carpark for staff quite close to the main square at Punchestown. Any of the members already working there will be able to point you in the right direction. They will be dotted along the different routes into the venue.

    I'm just back now, anybody here working there? How did you find it? I really enjoyed it, got a lot of hands on experience and learned a lot from working with all the various emt's, paramedics and ap's

    Nope I'm with CD, I did ned to go to OMAC for treatment on Sunday after being on the amusements because they were closest though! tbh Thursday was when we got the most serious injuries. I was in the busiest first aid centre though. Sunday was pretty busy in welfare, we had a good bit of hypothermia there obviously due to all the rain we got and how cold it was that night, other than that we were just kept ticking over. It was great for experience though, we had to respond to all sorts of injuries. Who are you with Elessar out of curiosity?

    Yeah we were ran off our feet Thursday, I was in the ambulance that night. Sunday was very busy too...but then again I was on the 12am to 8am shift so that would be the busiest in the campsites. The Gardaí had a very rough time of it

    Yeah busy weekend, but only 30+ to offsite hospitals. (thurs 12noon till monday 1600) it would seem the onsite x-ray machine cut down on alot of transfers to naas and tallaght.

    +1, though the 2 security guards I had a pleasant experience with were very good, one spotted a girl who had a nasty problem with her eye, I won't go into details but he gave her his jacket and called us,it's not everybody that would do it.
