Mr. Gerry Christie:

I can clarify that we are not a homogenous nationwide team. With regard to Slieve Foy, I am sure my colleague, Mr. Goddard, has often come down from County Down and rescued people in Carlingford, and I imagine Mr. England was with him. The Border is meaningless in the context of rescue. It does not exist.

I will answer the Senator's questions as best I can and if any of my colleagues want to assist me, they should feel free to do so. We have no problems attracting volunteers for rescue. We do have problems when we tell volunteers that they are on collection duty in the local street or shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon.
