Could a catastrophic failure of the equipment in Valentia occur, the possibility of which was stated in a report to the Minister for Transport in 2007, and which was the reason Malin and Valentia stations were told there was a need to shut them down? The Department told us four years ago that the equipment in the stations in Malin, Valentia and Dublin was subject to catastrophic failure at any moment. Motorola had issued a death certificate on the equipment. It was not in respect of a card or a bit of the equipment but on the entire equipment. Is Mr. Smullen saying that if the Department had a few spares, Motorola had it wrong and that a catastrophic failure would not occur?
