I want to clear on this. The Minister is happy with the charts and the maps being used by our search and rescue personnel today. That is what he has said on the floor of the Dáil today.

Regarding the search and rescue service, I asked, under the legislation, is it the responsibility of the Minister's Department to ensure that everything is right and proper with the search and rescue services? Is it his Department responsibility to ensure that all the equipment a crew uses meets international best standards? If that is the case, if volunteers or staff notice defects and deficiencies in the service, what is the channel for them to make a complaint and how can we have confidence that their complaint will be dealt with to ensure that all international standards are being adhered to and met?
