Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Coast Guard: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Lucas:

It was specifically to do with the Cliffs of Moher because there was a report done saying that certain sections of them were dangerous. It also precludes a boat from going in underneath the Cliffs of Moher in certain sections as well. However, we are a rescue team. We are not out for a walk on a fine day. We go to rescue people or, rather, that is what we should be going to do. If other rescue agencies can go over that fence to help a person who is in trouble, why is it the Coast Guard cannot?
