Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 January 2014
695. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will consider providing a capital grant scheme for mountain rescue organisations in County Wicklow (details supplied) to enable the organisations to improve the service they provide to the public in times of need; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2877/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my reply to Deputy Sean Kyne on the same matter on 19 December 2013. As explained, I am open to consider the inclusion of a modest capital grant scheme for organisations under Mountain Rescue Ireland and will be asking my officials to engage with Mountain Rescue Ireland and to consider the feasibility of such a scheme, bearing in mind the overall funding available to my Department.
