A safety assessment considering procedures, equipment, personnel and oversight undertaken by the Irish Coast's Guard, including the Safety Quality and Compliance section, resulted in the temporary suspension of the cliff rescue function within the Irish Coast Guard. The Irish Coast Guard is currently working on addressing these issues with the intention to lift the suspension on completion of this work at the earliest possible opportunity.
