The Irish Coast Guard has fifty-five Stations from which marine rescue services are delivered by volunteer units available for emergency callouts. Each Unit has an Area Officer and a Deputy Area Officer. These officers are paid an annual retainer of €888.80 and €444.40 respectively.
Accordingly, the cost incurred for pay for each station for each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 was €1,333.20 with some slight variation where the post of Area Officer or Deputy Area Officer was vacant for a period of time. A list of the Stations is as follows.
