I concur with Deputy Griffin's remarks. Reference was made to the fine helicopter the Coast Guard has. There is no reason experts could not be in Valentia Island or Malin Head given helicopters can land at both stations. There is a fine airport in Kerry at which the search and rescue helicopter lands regularly to refuel. The logistics involved should be considered in the report as well. I ask the officials to go back and think this out. They should think of the local people because, at the end of the day, we are talking about people's lives. Cost savings and so on are all very well but what cost will the officials put on one life?
