There is a need for a formal disciplinary proceeding. You all need to do it. The question is how did that happen. Mr. Clonan does not have that answered yet. To Ms O'Keeffe, I note that answer needs to be arrived at quickly by the Department on behalf of taxpayers. They are paying your salaries. They are paying our wages. We are having this meeting because of the volunteers up and down the country. We accept the work the Coast Guard does and we will support it with extra resources. Ironically, the Coast Guard wasted the bones of €1.4 million of taxpayers' money on something top management clearly were not aware of. Mr. Clonan was not aware of it.
