The problem is that for four years the Department was willing to have equipment in the Malin and Valentia stations that was subject to catastrophic failure and it was relying on spares. I note the engineer is wincing a little but the Department told us that equipment could fail at any moment, Motorola issued a death certificate in respect of it and for four years the Department allowed equipment to lie in Blanchardstown.
