Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

In regard to representation within the volunteer cadre of the Coast Guard, the Coastal Unit Advisory Group has been in existence for over 20 years. The Coastal Unit Advisory Group (CUAG) is the dedicated body in place, made up of elected volunteers and full time staff to represent the interests of the Coast Guard volunteers.

I have recently met with the CUAG and I can also confirm my office has been in contact with the ICGVRA. I will continue to engage with all volunteers.
