The National Co-ordinating Committee for Mountain and Cave Rescue (NCCMCR) was established in 1983 and has been chaired by the Irish Coast Guard of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport since 2002. The Committee meets twice a year. The Committee is currently chaired by the Volunteer Services and Training Manager of the Coast Guard, who ensures that any wider issues that require attention are brought to the appropriate forum.
