We recently celebrated the outstanding career of Station Officer Dominic Taaffe, who retires from Dublin Fire Brigade after 28 years of dedicated service. Dominic’s journey of public service began well before joining the Brigade. He served for seven years in the Irish Defence Forces, serving with distinction, including two UN missions to Lebanon. Known as a competent and respected leader, Dominic always recognised potential in others and took every opportunity to share his knowledge — whether on station, at incidents, or teaching on DFB courses. Never one to stand still, Dominic recently graduated with a degree in Electric Vehicle Engineering from ATU. His advocacy was central in bringing in specialised equipment — including EV emergency plugs and non-conductive tools — now standard across frontline appliances. Enjoy your well-earned retirement, Dominic — your contribution to the Defence Forces, the DFB, and the city of Dublin will not be forgotten.

Yesterday, we bid a fond farewell and heartfelt congratulations to our Chief Fire Officer Dennis Keeley, who moves on from Dublin Fire Brigade after almost 40 years of dedicated service — and begins his next chapter as Assistant Chief Executive with Dublin City Council. From his early days as a Firefighter on B Watch Tara Street to leading DFB through major milestones and challenges, including COVID-19, Dennis has embodied professionalism, integrity, and true leadership. His vision has driven progress in equality, diversity, innovation, and safety — leaving DFB stronger and more forward-looking than ever. Beyond Dublin, Dennis has represented Ireland with distinction through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism and as Chair of the Chief Fire Officers Association, shaping national fire service policy and development. We thank Dennis for his immense contribution, steady leadership, and unwavering commitment to the people of Dublin. Congratulations on your new role, Dennis — and best wishes to you and your family for the future.
