I have outlined the resources that are available in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the main category is mountain rescue and the CRBI. It may be worthwhile for the Senator's group to consult the CRBI to see whether it would come under the remit of the CRBI. As a Deputy operating in the Meath region, I can confirm that I have worked very closely with Leader and Meath Partnership to secure funding for the Meath River Rescue organisation, an inland service that does similar and important work as done by the group mentioned by the Senator. I did not promise or guarantee funding. I simply suggested another mechanism that the Senator could explore, one where she could see if there is an opportunity for development.
