Mr. Fergal Conroy:

No. At the moment they are looking at new search and rescue capabilities for building rescue and rope rescue. Those are being looked at currently. The rescue side of things will be upgraded in the future.

I want to answer a question that was asked about going abroad. We were talking about volunteerism and local volunteers. It is quite hard for people to take a lengthy period of time off to go on an overseas trip to help out in other countries. It is more local.

I will answer Senator Craughwell's question about the coastguard. When operating inland, the Civil Defence is usually more active than the coastguard. The coastguard is more active on the sea and its skillset is different.
