Based at Dublin Tunnel in East Wall, Dublin 3, we are open 24/7, 365 days a year and take great pride in the service we provide to the public. We are part of an ever-growing infrastructure that combines world-class operating systems with real world application, which results in a very unique job that a lot of people did not know even existed.

On behalf of TII, the MOCC co-ordinate emergency responses to a variety of incidents including multi vehicle collisions, shed loads, and most famously, assisting ducklings crossing the motorway. We also use a world leading traffic management system to manage incidents and congestion on the M50 in Dublin.
