Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Coast Guard: Discussion

Mr. Eugene Clonan:

I do. The Chair has asked whether I recognise it.

I hear it, but I cannot see it and I want to see it. Of course, I believe what Deputy O'Rourke is telling me. Internally within the organisation, going through all the structures we have, I am not getting those noises. I am getting it from the outside, but it is not specific. I need to hear the specific nature of it to understand. I have spoken to the people that are on the VRA and I know them. I know the majority of volunteers. I do not know why the VRA has been set up. Most of the volunteers are retired, but there are still issues there that they are holding and that need to be resolved. I am very concerned. We want openness and to reassure volunteers that it is open, that there are no recriminations.
