A single VIP escort operation coordinated at Dublin during the 13 November 2026 European Political Community meeting led to a time-critical medical transfer that reached a specialist facility in the UK within four hours. At the height of arrivals for 50 heads of state or government, An Garda Síochána set up a Strategic and Tactical Control Room at the An Garda Síochána Dublin Regional Control Centre, supported by an on-site Strategic Stakeholder Co-ordination Centre. A single dispatch call to an ambulance to collect the patient was monitored at the SSCC. Instead of multiple phone calls between control rooms, the alert triggered all states agencies’ protocols to be enacted simultaneously. As the ambulance began its journey, it was met and escorted across the country by Garda Roads Policing Units. Despite ongoing EPC-related escorts in the Dublin region, a National Escort motorcycle team was diverted to meet the medical escort and complete the VIP escort to Dublin Airport. On arrival, the medical escort was guided airside to a waiting HSE private air transport service and became airborne within minutes. From the first call, the patient arrived at the required medical facility in the UK within four hours. The multi-agency response involved the National Ambulance Service, An Garda Síochána, Dublin Airport Authority, the Dublin Airport Security Team, and Dublin Fire Brigade, coordinated through the SSCC, which brings together emergency services and agencies during major events. An Garda Síochána said the operation successfully completed as part of security and policing arrangements for the European Political Community meeting.
