On the MRCC building in Dublin, according to the information I was given, no risk assessment of this building was done. Mr. Mullen can correct me on this but I understand that in the past 16 to 18 months since personnel have been there, there have been outages and issues with the power and the fire alarm. Anyone who works in the Coast Guard service will know that utmost priority is given to health and safety and to best practice. Is the Department satisfied with the safety of the building in Leeson Lane in light of the information that was received on foot of a freedom of information request by a member of the public? Is the building fit for purpose? To use a seafaring analogy, there is a lot of fog around everything here and I cannot see through it. Perhaps the matter can be clarified and when the fog lifts, we may get some clarity. Is Mr. Mullen satisfied this building is fit for purpose in view of the information that has been given?
