Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Search and Rescue Service Provision (22 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: We had the devastating lost of the crew of Rescue 116 earlier this year and I am aware an investigation into that is currently ongoing. Therefore, it would be wholly inappropriate and insensitive of me to comment on that. Will the Minister indicate who has ultimate responsibility for the search and rescue helicopter service?

Robert Troy: I will not refer to the devastating loss of Rescue 116 but the search and rescue service continues to operate. People continue to fly.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Capital Expenditure Programme (22 Nov 2017)

Robert Troy: I thank the Minister. He failed to acknowledge that in 2010 Ireland recorded the lowest proportional capital spend in the EU on infrastructure. In fact, in 2015 only 53% of the necessary maintenance was carried out. He spoke about increased capital secured in the 2018 budget, but this is still 31% below what is needed just to keep our infrastructure in a steady state condition. We need to...
