I would appreciate it. It was a pilot programme for coxswains. The company that did it is no longer working for the Coast Guard, which is a matter of great concern to me. The witnesses are an advisory group, so their job is to bring issues of concern to management. Tests were done on the Rescue 400 life jacket in Ringaskiddy in Cork. The witnesses are aware that the life jacket failed more than one test, yet it remained in service for the best part of six years.
