Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)

Michael McNamara: I just want to go back to Mr. Lucas and the incident he described earlier in the week in Clare. Obviously, this person had not fallen a substantial distance down the cliff, but had they fallen over the edge of the cliff?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)

Michael McNamara: Or a legal representative. For example, some of the unions get lawyers to attend WRC hearings. Could CUAG get a solicitor's firm, and counsel if necessary, to attend on behalf of a member?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
