- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: I welcome the Irish Coast Guard Volunteers Representative Association here. Indeed, I and others looked for this opportunity for them to come before the committee. It is great they have managed to come in and give a strong presentation. I attended the launch of their organisation in Kilkee in August last. I want to remember the late Ms Caitríona Lucas who was remembered on that day...

Joe Carey: Could Mr. O'Mahony give us a sense of the different counties that these volunteers come from?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: It would be reasonable to say that it is a broad church. They represent at least 100 people - there could be more - and right along the west coast and around to the east coast. I congratulate Irish Coast Guard Volunteers Representative Association on establishing itself as an organisation. Following the previous hearing of this committee with the Irish Coast Guard, it is obvious there is...

Joe Carey: I am aware of a situation that happened in the Cliffs of Moher over the past couple of weeks where a person broke their leg and I understand that the volunteers could not help that casualty. Is that the case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: I was present for the earlier session and I had to step out to another meeting. I have read the witnesses' opening statements and I was a participant in the most recent meeting we had on Coast Guard services. It is clear that morale in Coast Guard units is fairly low. We heard that from the earlier witnesses who appeared before the committee from the ICGVRA. Would Mr. Murray accept that...

Joe Carey: I am asking the questions of Mr. Murray.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: I am not sure if Mr. Murray was tuned in to the previous session. Just for his information, the witnesses stated that there were 100 members from widespread coastal communities, from Mayo down around the west coast and back around the east coast. They would have a lot more members who would also put their heads above the parapet but they are fearful to do that because they are subjected to...

Can Mr. Murray confirm if any current member of CUAG is in a grievance procedure?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: On the terms of reference, who changed them? Was it the management or was it CUAG and were all of the volunteers consulted on these changes?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: Can Mr. Murray tell me when CUAG did that, please?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Joe Carey: In fairness, the previous terms of reference were signed off by both management and CUAG. I presume it will be in the same format in that it will be management and CUAG. Is that correct?
