Publication of the first Annual Report on the National Search and Rescue Plan
The National Search and Rescue Plan was published in July 2019 following a major review of Search and Rescue (SAR) services in Ireland. The NSP created a new National SAR Committee (NSARC), bringing all key stakeholders in maritime, land and aeronautical SAR together, under an independent Chair. This first Annual Report from the NSARC is prescribed in the National SAR Plan under the terms of reference for the Committee.
