Paudie Coffey (Fine Gael)

I appreciate that but I call for a wider debate in order that all Senators can contribute to a discussion on the sea and air rescue service which is being denuded in the south-east region. Coastal communities will be neglected as a result. This is a despicable decision to make on an island nation but it is not too late to reverse it, which is why I call for a debate on the issue. The contract has not yet been signed. All Senators should have an opportunity to express their opinions on the matter.
