Transport Minister pledges to implement recommendations in report into Caitríona Lucas death

The Transport Minister has pledged to implement in full the recommendations contained in a report into the death of a coast guard volunteer off Clare which identified systemic “safety management” issues in the Irish Coast Guard.

Minister Shane Ross was speaking yesterday following publication of the Marine Casualty Investigation Board’s (MCIB) report into the death of Caitriona Lucas, a 41-year-old mother of two from Liscannor, County Clare, during an ill-fated mission off Doolin on September 12, 2016.
