Authorities urged to fill key vacancy in Munster disaster planning group

AUTHORITIES were urged last night to fill a key position in the disaster planning group for Cork and Kerry, which has been vacant for several weeks.

Alice O’Sullivan stepped down as emergency management officer with the Cork Kerry Joint Emergency Planning Group (CKJEPG) several weeks ago in order to pursue other career interests.

Ms O’Sullivan, who was one of the first emergency management officers employed in the State, provided full-time support to the inter-agency group.
