- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Role of Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)
Catherine Murphy: I thank the witnesses for their presentation and for the work they do.

Catherine Murphy: We know there is a lease arrangement for helicopters. How often does the tender for the lease arrangement come up? What is included and how robust is the tendering process? Is there much interest in it? Do different companies tender? Is it like with like? Is maintenance included? Does the Coast Guard hedge? Does it buy the fuel or is that part of the lease arrangement? I would...

Catherine Murphy: I am asking it in a very general way. It was mentioned in the opening statement that inland waterways are included for rescue purposes. I was contacted some years ago by someone who was concerned that the Coast Guard was not used to help someone in distress in the River Liffey, as it happens. It was not in the city centre but in west Dublin. How is the Coast Guard called to deal with such...

Catherine Murphy: I wish to address the issue of the OPW.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Role of Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)
Catherine Murphy: The OPW makes the application to the local authority and it has a great deal of experience with property and building projects.

Is there something that could be streamlined so that when money is allocated it is actually spent? If being in a position to...
