The Irish Coast Guard manages a fleet of response vehicles which equip the 44 Coast Guard units to carry out search and rescue functions within their localities.
In the immediate location of Templenoe are Coast Guard stations based at Iveragh and Castletownbere who provide search, cliff and boat response within their communities.
The Irish Coast Guard does not intend establishing a unit in the Kenmare area and the vehicle in question has been relocated to the Castletownbere station house as a dedicated resource to the unit to respond to training and callout requirements within their area of operations.
