In 2018, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that the first Saturday in September every year will celebrate Irish frontline workers so they can get the public recognition “they so rightly deserve.” @DubCivilDefence participated in the @NatServicesDay parade from Parnell Street to Dame Street and the Static Display in Dublin Castle. Over 20 Full Time and Voluntary Services we’re involved. #civildefence #volunteers #NationalServicesDay pic.twitter.com/cZ0eH3ANbGMore Irish Red Cross action from today's National Services Day parade 💪🚑🚑🚑🚒🚒🚒 pic.twitter.
