I thank the Minister for his response but I am disappointed to hear what he says. I appreciate that he acknowledges the important work done and that his Department has an administrative role but I would not have brought this matter before the Minister today if I did not think that it needed a push. I feel that the team is battling many forces which are not visible because of the nature of its work and where it is done, yet the Minister and I acknowledge the incredible service that the team provides. What role does the Minister have in monitoring whether units such as the Galway mountain rescue team are catered for in such a way as to allow them do their business effectively?
