Crosshaven Coast Guard to Conduct Training Exercise in Carrigaline Tonight

Crosshaven Coast Guard has announced they will be conducting a simulated training exercise in the Carrigaline area this evening, with the unit emphasising that there is no cause for concern for local residents.

The exercise, scheduled for tonight (27 August), is part of routine training operations designed to maintain the team's operational readiness for real-life emergency situations. The Coast Guard unit took to social media earlier this evening to notify the public in advance, ensuring that any visible activity would not cause unnecessary alarm.

"Please note tonight we will conduct a simulated exercise in the Carrigaline area. This is to keep the team operational ready for real life situations. There is no cause for concern."

Regular training exercises are essential for maintaining the high standards of response capability that coastal communities depend upon. The Crosshaven unit, which serves the southern Cork harbour area including Carrigaline, Crosshaven, and surrounding coastal regions, conducts these simulations to ensure crews remain prepared for maritime emergencies.

Residents in the Carrigaline area may notice Coast Guard activity this evening but are assured that this is purely a training operation. The advance notification demonstrates the unit's commitment to keeping the community informed whilst maintaining their vital emergency preparedness.
