Irish Coast Guard: Discussion
Mr. John O'Mahony:
The reason the team in Doolin is able to access that area Mr. Lucas was describing is that the coastguard has a world-class Tag 07 climbing system. When the system is properly set up on a clifftop, a climber going down is as safe as someone crossing a zebra crossing. A climber is very safe. That system can bring stretchers up and drop them down. It can drop coastguard medical people down and a person can be put into the stretcher and brought up. It is a super, world-class system.
