National Emergency Plan

The short version is, "Stay in and listen to your Radio".
Otherwise, we're basically F*cked. Here's the link.

There is however, a full report on the effects of the Chernobyl Accident on Ireland, that makes interesting Reading.

We will carry on as normal we just won't have to worry about hangovers.

jameshayes · 17-12-2007 04:47PM

i wonder do radio presenters make a few extra quid in there wages for 'being on call for national emergencys!'

connundrum · 17-12-2007 04:51PM

Feck that, I'm packin me bags and headin Wesht.

Feel free to fill us in on how we can survive a full scale nuclear or bio chemical attack? We can't. I bet you were happy when the government wasted millions getting Iodine tablets to everybody, so we could all live that extra few hours as the radiation poured over us.

ScumLord · 17-12-2007 05:21PM

Jaysus, I haven't a clue where I left them things.

mike65 · 17-12-2007 05:23PM

Those tablets are no longer any good to use (if they ever were to start with).

Mike.

Will the radio work? Surely the electricity will be fecked?

Should I get one of those wind up radios incase of nuclear fallout?

dont think the tablets will save us, as far as i know the older you are the less change they have of working,,

marcsignal · 17-12-2007 05:50PM

I never got any either ? If i did, I think i'd just take the whole lot in one go, and down a bottle of vodka anyways

arseagon · 17-12-2007 05:55PM

I ate mine when I got em. They weren't very nice

I would do likewise.

would we all not just glow in the dark

marcsignal · 17-12-2007 06:37PM

The funniest thing about the link for the NEP is that it spends a whole page telling you that there is a plan,

what departments/services are involved,
How will decisions be made,
What type of incidents does the Plan cater for,
How the NEPNA compares to other Emergency Plans,
How is Ireland notified about nuclear incidents abroad,
How soon after notification that could Ireland be affected,
how Ireland could be seriously contaminated by an incident abroad,
How radioactive contamination is detected in Ireland,
How weather would affect the contamination level,
How will the public be informed in an emergency,
if it Will be safe to drink water from the tap,
How often the Plan is tested,

and then dosen't tell you what the f*cking plan is

They're out of date since 2 years ago.

Paddy Power: Now taking bets on which country will launch a nuclear missle first!

thefinalstage · 17-12-2007 08:32PM

A little nuclear radiation or snmall pox will not force me to suckle from the teet of culchies! I will stay and lose my hair in a dignified fashion while watching Star Trek in my sitting room!

RAFC · 17-12-2007 08:58PM

I dumped all those tablets a few months ago, after I found them at the back of the cupboard. They hadn't even sent enough for the whole family - just enough for me and the kids (poor hubby

:))

The only radio transmitter that will work after heavy fallout is likely the original Marconi valve unit that was used for 2FM Mediumwave - 612kHz. Its kept maintained for this reason... so you need a windup radio that does mediumwave. Not sure they exist...

timmywex · 17-12-2007 10:55PM

basically, we are all fecked if there is a nucllear fallout, government dont have a clue

At last, a way to get the FF/PD/GRIMEYGREEN lot out of office for good: bring it on:D

Heres your day to day guide to surviving a terrorist attack

How will decisions be made?

"In the event of a nuclear emergency necessitating the activation of the NEPNA, senior representatives of each of these Departments/ Agencies will meet, in Dublin, as the Emergency Response Coordination Committee (ERCC). The Committee will be chaired by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and will consider the expert advice provided by the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland and other agencies regarding measures to protect the population. It will remain in session until the crisis has passed."

So what there saying is they will stay in their nuclear leaded reinforced bunkers until the fallout cloud has passed. Then will will repopulate more Mary Harney's and Bertie's during the time....:eek::eek::eek:

L1011 · 17-12-2007 11:40PM

And, even worse, they'll be in ATHLONE when they do it!

Zapho · 17-12-2007 11:52PM

Yup, we're all screwed when they start launching the auld "glow in the dark"!
