Bomb disposal
There are a number of Irish Army EOD teams located across the country in military barracks, ready for operations throughout the state 24/7, 365 days a year. EOD teams use Swedish Scania P270 (Wilker Group) and armoured Swiss Mowag Duro II EOD trucks, with a motorcycle escort from the Garda Traffic Corps on internal callouts. Bomb squads are protected by an armed group of support soldiers, who provide a cordon, cover and protect the sensitive equipment carried by EOD trucks. Bomb disposal robots, John Deere Gators and Segways are also in use with Ordnance Corps EOD teams. Teams can be dispatched on helicopters via the Air Corps if there is a need.
