I refer the Deputy to my reply to Deputy Sean Kyne on the same matter on 19 December 2013. As explained, I am open to consider the inclusion of a modest capital grant scheme for organisations under Mountain Rescue Ireland and will be asking my officials to engage with Mountain Rescue Ireland and to consider the feasibility of such a scheme, bearing in mind the overall funding available to my Department.
