Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

There have been grants to a number of rescue teams. I have a list of them here. I appreciate the feedback the Deputy has given. I will engage with my colleagues across the Government, perhaps the Minister for Rural and Community Development or the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport, Gaeltacht and Media, on this issue. They provide a vital community service, as Deputy Naughten has referenced. I will reflect on what he has outlined and engage with colleagues. I will also reflect on what happened previously under the Minister, Noel Dempsey.
