Firefighters Unions:

S.I.P.T.U.

The majority of the Republic of Irelands firefighters are in SIPTU, Irelands largest trade union. In Dublin Fire Brigade, there are in excess of 800 members. The Dublin Fire Brigade operates a fire rescue and emergency ambulance service to the citizens of Dublin (City and County). All firefighters are dual role cross trained, in that, they are qualified firefighter/paramedics.

The Dublin Fire Brigade Section Committee of SIPTU is made up of representatives from all of Dublin’s full time fire stations.
