Labhair Peter Hunt ón tSeirbhís Doiteáin i mBaile Átha Cliath ar chlár Jennifer Zamparelli ar 2FM mar gheall ar an traenáil a fuair seisean thar thréimhse ocht mí agus an clár faisnéise, 999 Faoi Oiliúint.
Peter features on 999 Faoi Oiliúint, a brand new four-part documentary series following the lives of the men and women training for service on the front line begins on April 17th on RTÉ One.
Mhínigh Peter gur spreagadh é le dul leis an jab spéisiúil seo nuair a shábháil paraimhíochaineoirí a athair agus é i ndiaidh taom chroí a bheith aige. Ní raibh Peter ach cúig bliana d'aois nuair a tharla an t-eachtra mór seo ach is léir go ndeachaigh sé i bhfeidhm go mór air ó shin.
Ag caint ar Ghaeilge atá ar an gclár, dúirt Peter go raibh spéis aige sa Ghaeilge agus go raibh taithí Gaeltachta aige agus é ina pháiste. Cé nár úsáid sé a chuid Gaeilge ó shin, dúirt sé go raibh iontas air gur fhill an Ghaeilge air agus é i mbun taifeadta.
Whether it’s a firefighter, a paramedic, mountain rescue or coast guard, 999 Faoi Oiliúint will follow these new cadets as they undergo intense and gruelling training and find out if they have what it takes to make the grade. The series features new cadets from Foyle Search and Rescue; Galway Fire Service; Mayo Mountain Rescue; Dublin Fire Service; National Ambulance Service Ireland; Lough Neagh Search and Rescue and the Irish Coast Guard.
Twelve-hour shifts, on-the-spot decision-making, life-and-death scenarios and a diminished social life. Signing up for the emergency services is an all-embracing commitment. It’s a vocation. And it’s not for everyone.
Filmed over the course of a year the new cadets in 999 Faoi Oiliúint display the shared traits of strength, determination, grit and ultimately an unwavering devotion to their work. The peaks and troughs of training will be placed under a microscope, and we see how each trainee emerges from the challenges of being pushed to their limits while moving through the ranks of examinations and training.
999 Faoi Oiliúint, 17Aibreáin, 8.00pm ar RTÉ ONE
