I ask the Chair that in the follow-up discussions Mr. Clonan would come back to this point. It is an extremely important point for air-sea rescue. It started in 2018. I accept that there are difficulties around training. I accept that there are difficulties with Covid-19. However, in light of the Rescue 116 report and what we now know, we cannot afford to be delaying this any longer. Surely, all efforts should be made to get this done in the next number of months. I accept the training issues and operational issues, but this can be done if the will is there. I think the problem is that the will needs to be demonstrated.
