Amharc ar fhreagraOn 1 May, I launched the Be Summer-Ready 2024 Public Safety Information Campaign. This year the focused message of the campaign is TravelWise, which is the Department of Foreign Affairs’ travel advice service. The Be Summer Ready campaign provides advice across a wide range of topics on staying safe during the summer period. It is a source of practical information to keep in mind when planning activities, whether at home or abroad. The campaign’s messages are delivered through traditional and social media and by the provision of an information booklet and audio files, as well as a ‘TravelWise’ leaflet. Information about the campaign can be found at www.gov.ie/SummerReady. The Be Summer-Ready campaign is a whole-of-government initiative and is prepared and overseen by the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning, which I chair.
