Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Coast Guard: Discussion
Mr. John O'Mahony:
That is a fair comment. The minutes of the meeting should be treated exactly as the Senator says. We have seen many examples – we have brought some with us – of where the minutes were changed. Mr. Farr and Mr. Griffin sat on the CUAG and they know this from a practical point of view, given that they got minutes back and saw that they were not what happened. Basically, the minutes would have been tidied up and any reference to a volunteer dispute or other negative issue would have been removed. Occasionally, some issues got through but that was generally what happened. Mr. Griffin and Mr. Farr can probably go into more detail than I can.
