Egis Road and Tunnel Operation Ireland, the company that operates the Dublin Port Tunnel on behalf of the National Roads Authority, has just taken delivery of a new fleet of emergency vehicles, comprising five specially adapted Ford models - two Focus Estates and three Transit vans.  The new vehicles will work on a 24-hour basis, patrolling the tunnel, and in the case of an incident, will be available to respond and provide emergency assistance to users of the Port Tunnel.

The new Ford support vehicles were supplied by Lillis O'Donnell Motor Company and have been specially adapted by Swords Auto with emergency lighting and response equipment.

"Swords Auto has more than 12 years experience of managing emergency support vehicles across Ireland and the UK, and we are delighted to now add the Dublin Port Tunnel to our list of projects," said Brian O'Neill, Managing Director of Swords Auto. "The new emergency vehicles will provide a first line of support for any incidents or accidents inside and in the environs of the Port Tunnel".
