I have one final question. It concerns the relationship between the Naval Service and the Customs and Excise service in respect of support and back-up.

Recently in the Dáil I raised a concern that had been brought to my attention about the amount of drugs brought ashore along the west and north-west coast up as far as Killybegs. Quite an amount of drugs were washed ashore on the coast of County Clare recently. I was wondering about the relationship between the Naval Service and the Customs service to try to eliminate the drugs being brought ashore. How vigilant is the Naval Service in the area?
