Mr. Barry Fox:

We have 60 advanced coxswains within the organisation and an additional 35 staff who are qualified to man the vessels. All the 60 advanced coxswains are trained to do night navigation and radar and to use the vessels at night. I would accept that they do not all do so. Most of our work is at last light and first light. This is something we have identified. We are now bringing forward a familiarisation course over the winter periods in the same location, Killary Harbour, where we will bring additional staff through night-time operations, but they are all qualified to do it-----
