Leanann 999 Faoi Oiliúint saol na ndaoine atá ag dul don obair thábhachtach a choinníonn muid slán muid in am a ghátar. Tá na foirne seo i mbun traenála, traenáil neamhghnách í seo a chuirfidh iad faoi bhrú fisiciúil agus intinne.
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.
Bíonn ar na daoine seo cinntithe deacra a thógáil go tapaidh agus iad faoi bhrú mór gach lá oibre agus trasnaíonn an saol oibre isteach sa saol pearsanta go minic.
