We spoke about that this morning where it was said that there is a facility whereby for emergency services, the moratorium can be lifted. That is at the Minister's discretion. Has the Department submitted a request to the Minister to have the extra staff provided? I speak about Valentia Island because that is the one I know best. I will not speak about Malin Head as those involved there will speak for themselves and I am not sure about the staffing there. Has the Department submitted a specific request to the Minister to lift the moratorium to employ staff at Valentia Island?
