Vol. 334 No. 1

Written Answers. - Indemnification of Sub-Aqua Club Members.

237.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will arrange that members of civilian sub-aqua clubs whose services are requisitioned by the Garda Síochána, are indemnified by the State.

As indicated in the reply to Question No. 16 of 27 January 1982, the requisitioning of services for official Garda purposes is a matter for the Minister for Justice. However, in view of the involvement of the Irish Water Safety Association in the matter, I have been keeping in touch with developments. I am now informed that the association's proposals are at an advanced stage and a report will be submitted to me as soon as possible.

While I am not directly concerned, I will be prepared to consider such report in consultation with the Minister for Justice.
