Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Coast Guard: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Cahill:

The training in first aid is provided through the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council. That is recertified every two years. The personal survival training techniques are recertified every four years, through the National Maritime College. Further development in boat training involves passing Irish Sailing Association, ISA, basic levels, including, for example, crew taking a basic powerboat course, an advanced powerboat course, and coastal navigation courses. All of those would be administered by somebody certified by the Irish Sailing Association to qualify people.
