I appreciate that gesture by the Minister of State. It is a good idea to suggest that the local radio stations along the coast would give a coastal sea area forecast for the smaller areas such as from Mizen Head to Valentia, Valentia to the Blaskets and the Blaskets to Loop Head with Clare Radio giving the local sea area forecast for the seas around its coast. This would be a significant development which would be welcomed and would add to safety. It could be done at small cost. I appreciate the Minister of State's positive response and look forward to hearing the response of the Minister of State, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, to that request.
