Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Coast Guard: Discussion

Mr. Eugene Clonan:

No. As to how I know this, my boss, Ms Deirdre O'Keeffe, was telling about it. We have the Marine Casualty Investigation Board, MCIB, report, the air accident investigation interim and preliminary reports, and now the final report. We have not been sitting on our hands. We have been working through that. There is a big reform programme going on there.

With my staff, with my people and with my stakeholders, I cannot just draw up a plan and say, "Okay, lads, this is what we are going to do." That is not the way you do it. Basically, I did a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis of what we needed to do, what resources we have and where we are going. With the staff and with our own people, I partnered with the great place to work programme. We are on our second survey at present. Everything is kind of a mess because I have come over on the bike.
