I am reasonably familiar with what is going on in maritime transport safety so I will not bore the Minister of State with the questions I might normally ask about the increases. Has the Department considered empowering the Coast Guard to attempt to claim from the insurance companies associated with people who have been rescued? I do not refer to the individuals rescued on the River Shannon or off the west coast as happened last week when it provided a fantastic service.
