- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: I asked Mr. Reynolds a question. In the first draft, did Fisher Associates in their suite of observations, whether they related to one, two or three centres, ever come down on the side of any of them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: All the criticisms by many people below senior management level and the stakeholders they spoke to were edited out following discussion with senior management and that was then presented to the Minister. In the draft report, as I understand it, there was no preference expressed by Fisher Associates. Is that correct?

Mark Daly: Mr. Reynolds took fair umbrage at the personalised issues. It is all here in his 19 page reply.

Mark Daly: They did know. They consulted internally.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: There are references to internal consultation meetings and "It was very clear that many experienced people within the organisation...". Did they consult internally or not? Is the draft report inaccurate in the sense that they did not consult internally?

Mark Daly: I did not finish my question to which I did not get a reply.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: I did not get a reply to the fact that I pointed out again that there was no recommendation here. My point is that the final draft most certainly contained a recommendation. It was the recommendation that senior management wanted. We asked the question about Spanish trawlers and we received an answer about Spanish air traffic control and all the international rules. The fact that Mr....

Mark Daly: This is a life or death issue and that is why we are exercised about it. I do not know whether Mr. Mullen answered the question about whether a risk assessment was carried out on the Dublin station before the equipment was installed above a kitchen. I believe it has been evacuated a few times. The assistant secretary felt the criticism of senior management in the first draft of the Fisher...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: The response from senior management castigated the draft Fisher Associates report for even mentioning the issue, referring to a lack of intelligent questioning throughout the whole report.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: I will go over this again. I would like Mr. Reynolds to reply to the issue of Spanish language availability. The draft report indicated that language miscommunication is a notable risk in emergency response and that all communication should be in English. The management response argued, however, that this was a legacy of when fishing reports were being logged in the Spanish fleet through...

Mark Daly: I am not sure about the answer to Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill’s question about the shed. My understanding is 22 medivacs involving Spanish speakers were done by Valentia and, obviously, the Royal Air Force has called on the station’s services many times. Sometimes I am concerned about the information the assistant secretary receives. When the Fearon report, presented by a...
