Question:

198. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport his plans to establish an independent inquiry into the management of the Irish Coast Guard. [63127/22]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

I have no plans to establish an independent inquiry into the management of the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG).

I welcome this year's very positive engagement between IRCG management and IRCG volunteer representatives - the Coastal Unit Advisory Group - in agreeing a renewed and refreshed terms of reference for the Group.
