Vol. 415 No. 8
224 Mr. G. O'Sullivan asked the Minister for the Marine if, in view of the fact that the lifeboats of the Irish fleet of the RNLI were launched 414 times in 1991 and saved 90 lives, he will allocate an extra £100,000 to the RNLI; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I am fully aware of the excellent work being carried out by the RNLI, which is a voluntary organisation supported by charitable contributions. A special once-off additional allocation of £100,000 was made in 1991 for a particular project.
The allocation for 1992 is £100,000. I have no resources available at present to increase this allocation.
