Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion

1:50 pm

Mr. Chris Reynolds:

I cannot answer the second question unless the person survived and said it. We have no record of that ever being said. The only one I remember close to it was a sinking in Donegal. There were two maydays heard and then nothing and a boat was missing in the area. We picked up those two maydays after replaying them three or four times to ascertain it was two maydays. Two lives were lost in that incident but we picked it up and we responded to it. I do not know how to answer the question because the person would have to tell us that he called us and did not get through to us.
