[109325]
- Answer
-
Joint operational arrangements between neighbouring states, to ensure rapid response to persons in danger or difficulty, are internationally accepted good practice. HM Coastguard makes use of any vessel, aircraft, service or capability that can provide a response to an emergency. UK-based resources also provide reciprocal assistance to the Irish Republic when requested and available.
