The study produced the first validated competency framework for emergency management practitioners in Ireland. Sixteen core competencies were confirmed as essential, encompassing two broad domains: Skills and Abilities (14) and Knowledge and Understanding (2). The framework establishes and underpins the EMII Core Competency Wheel, illustrating the balance of leadership, decision-making, ethics, collaboration, and systematic knowledge required of emergency management practitioners in Ireland. This report summarises the research process and outlines its implications for policy, education, and professional development.
