Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs
Capital and Infrastructure Issues: Discussion

Ms Anna Classon:
I will pass the detail of the conversation over to my colleague, Mr. Halligan. One of the challenges that any passionate volunteer feels when things are not right for them is frustration. I can only commend the passion and commitment of our volunteers in Helvick whom I have worked with for the last three years to bring this interim solution about with my colleagues, and for their absolute determination that they would be on service for spring low tides as well as spring high tides and that nothing was going to step in their way in delivering a service to their community and that part of the sea. I will hand over to my colleague but I really wanted to commend all of the volunteers in Helvick as well as the fundraisers. They raise €50,000 a year down there. Their passion made sure that an interim solution was found.
