County Carlow Chamber welcome the launch of Phase Two of Loc8code – Public Safety Initiative

Loc8code Emergency Access Points are a simple but powerful tool: they provide first responders with precise, reliable locations in areas where traditional addresses and navigation can be challenging – along riverways, in recreational spaces, and across rural landscapes. By reducing response times, these markers have the potential to save lives.

Phase One, launched earlier this year along the River Barrow in partnership with Waterways Ireland during Bagenalstown in Bloom, has already demonstrated the value of the initiative. Building on this success, Phase Two expands the system further, strengthening emergency accessibility and making Carlow a safer county for all.

This next phase will see Loc8code signage piloted at Brownshill Dolmen and Oak Park, Carlow. These locations were selected as the pilot areas for progressing the initiative into heritage sites and walking trails across Carlow.
