That is good to know.

I will move to the ATC issue and the targeting and enticing of skilled staff from our Defence Forces to a private operator. Our party policy is that we would love to see an examination of whether the Coast Guard could be operated through our Defence Forces. I am not asking for a comment on that specifically but could the witnesses comment in some way? Are there potential efficiencies of service that would happen if our Coast Guard, Garda helicopter operations and Defence Forces were all operating out of the same Defence Forces facilities? Is there the potential for an improved or more efficient service if that were the case?
