In an emergency, call 999/112 and ask the emergency operator for "Mountain Rescue". You will then be put through to a Garda or PSNI station where the situation will be assessed and, if necessary, a mountain rescue team called out.

Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team announce funding for two new rescue vehicles.
Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team is delighted to announce that they have secured funding for two new 4x4 rescue vehicles for use in the Dublin and Wicklow hills.
A significant part of the funding comes in the shape of a €45,000 grant from the National Lottery which was approved by Department of Health Minister James O’Reilly. Andrew Doyle, Fine Gael TD in Wicklow, a long term supporter of the work of mountain rescue in Wicklow, had this to say about the good news: “This shows a genuine commitment and appreciation on the Governments part to acknowledge the vital work that is being carried out on a daily basis by those who volunteer on Mountain Rescue teams to assist those in need.”
