Irish Coast Guard: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Lucas:
Thankfully, the fire brigade was able to come and perform the task and the helicopter subsequently arrived as well. However, as I said, if, for instance, there had been fog or a house fire, the Coast Guard would not have been able to do anything for that person because of constraints of not being willing to work and go and see these and work around them. For example, why can the fire brigade come, go over the fence and do the job, and we are standing there and we cannot do it? It is nonsensical. It makes no sense whatsoever.
