The report into the death of an Irish Coast Guard Volunteer off the County Clare Coast two years ago has recommended the Minister for Transport review the Irish National Search and Rescue Framework. There is a recommendation for the Transport, Tourism and Sport Minister to review and clearly document the criteria for tasking and launching Coast Guard Boats. Reacting to the publication of the report, Minister Shane Ross says he will be ensuring all the recommendations are implemented. It will now encompass the relevant recommendations arising from the MCIB report. He said that her death was an appalling tragedy adding that the Irish Coast Guard would always honour her memory.
