Mark Daly: Pardon?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: It has not changed. If Motorola said this equipment was liable to catastrophic failure at any moment and it issued a death certificate in respect of it to Mr. Mullen's Department, is Mr. Mullen telling me that having a few spares in a box in Dublin or in Valentia would make any difference?

Mark Daly: Chairman, I am asking the assistant secretary of the Department if the equipment-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: I do not believe the assistant secretary is doing so.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: It seems they do not understand the meaning of catastrophic failure.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: The assistant secretary is telling me that if the Department had spares it could fix equipment what was subject to catastrophic failure. Is that what he is trying to sell to this committee?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: Could a catastrophic failure of the equipment in Valentia occur, the possibility of which was stated in a report to the Minister for Transport in 2007, and which was the reason Malin and Valentia stations were told there was a need to shut them down? The Department told us four years ago that the equipment in the stations in Malin, Valentia and Dublin was subject to catastrophic failure at...

Mark Daly: We will ask the engineer. Is it correct that the entire equipment was subject to catastrophic failure?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: We know how equipment works - there are small bits to it. Could the entire equipment be subject to catastrophic failure, as Motorola said?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: Catastrophic failure means it will all shut down in one go, as I understand it, and that no amount of spares would make any difference. A death certificate would mean the equipment would fall apart at any moment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: My concern is that the Department did nothing for the past four years, even though it was instructed to do something.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: The problem is that for four years the Department was willing to have equipment in the Malin and Valentia stations that was subject to catastrophic failure and it was relying on spares. I note the engineer is wincing a little but the Department told us that equipment could fail at any moment, Motorola issued a death certificate in respect of it and for four years the Department allowed...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
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...
- 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 speaking about rescues.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: Are rescues co-ordinated through Spanish?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Review of Irish Coast Guard Service: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)
Mark Daly: That was my question.
