Mr. Eugene Clonan:

The contract was to buy the vehicles and get them fitted out. It was one contract to get all that done and they were fitted out. The thing with the volunteers is - and this is the reason they should have been brought it in at the beginning - that the intention was not to carry all the equipment on the van. You could not get it all into the van because of the volume. The van was bought to replace the existing van and to keep a mix a vehicles. When you are going the side of the mountain to go up to a cliff face - the Senator knows Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher - a truck does not do it. You need 4x4s, quads and a van to carry the excess equipment, and trailers.
