Civil Defence Volunteers heroic deeds in Krakow, Poland

9 November 2026

Six members of the Dublin Civil Defence Unit were on a private short break to Krakow, Poland on 7 November when three of the party witnessed the horrific mass shootings in the Market Square area of the city.

Once it was safe to do so,  the three volunteer members came to the aid of victims of the shooting.  It is understood that the volunteers performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and helped control bleeding among the injured. Their conduct was heroic at a time of grave danger, using their training and expertise, and acting selflessly to help others.

A huge well done from all in Civil Defence to Joe Mulligan, Gareth Daniel and Magdalena Stefi.
