Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Capital and Infrastructure Issues: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Anna Classon:

My colleague, Ms Stephenson, works with what we call LPOs, our lifeboat press officers, who are also volunteers. We have one in every lifeboat station in Ireland. These are the people who, very consciously, raise awareness. That was done in the Donegal media in regard to the stations that had the issues. We have to work with our community gardaí, who are very helpful to us as well, and if we do have a call-out, our colleagues in the emergency services are very quick to act to help us to get access. We will work on that issue next summer and we will work with our colleagues in An Garda Síochána and the county councils to see how we can make this better for everybody - those who want to use the sea and those who may need our services in a hurry.
