I thank the witnesses for attending. It cannot have been easy. We value the work that is done the length and breadth of the country by the 900 volunteers. As a committee, we want to do something proactive and constructive. Obviously, we have CUAG coming in. In addition, to follow up on the request of the witnesses, we will follow up with the Department and the Minister. Furthermore, we will follow up on the request of ICGVRA to be recognised by the Irish Coast Guard, working with CUAG and looking at its terms of reference, and looking at working in partnership around the code of conduct to make it better. The ICGVRA wants to make the service as safe as possible. Would it be fair to say this has caused inadvertent or unnecessary friction among colleagues the length and breadth of the country?
