Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Coast Guard: Discussion
Mr. John O'Mahony:
I will take this question. On any of our Zoom calls, we hear phrases like "They destroyed my life" used. That was what was said by someone who spent 20 years of his life as a senior officer in command, OIC, in a south-coast unit. Someone who served in a unit on the west coast, and who went to the steps of the High Court, spent €11,000 of his own money doing so and was one of the few people to ever get a successful appeal hearing, but he had to pay for it, said there was no place to go to for help and no one to turn to. Those are just two of the examples I would use to-----
