Ireland Prepares for Historic EU Security Event | Cork News

Ireland is pulling out all the stops for the biggest security operation in its history, gearing up to host the European Commission’s College of Commissioners in Cork this Thursday and Friday. Hundreds of gardaí and military personnel, even a French naval frigate, are deployed as part of securing the EU Presidency — a plan meticulously crafted over two and a half years. New gear includes 78 patrol cars, 75 motorcycles, a tactical truck, advanced body armor, and even a new plane. Behind the scenes, elite counter-drone tech and foreign security teams are ready, with officers trained in close protection, command ops, and water cannons. Roadblocks and anti-vehicle measures are in place to keep high-profile visitors safe. Expect some disruptions — officials will warn you in advance via press releases, social media, and their website.
