This Island Nation

On this edition - what is the future to be for the country’s 16 voluntary community search-and-rescue boats that often face the toughest job when a tragedy occurs? We’ll be looking at the apparent exclusion of these boats from the new national search-and-rescue plan. There's positive news about water safety, and we hear the strange story of the smooth hammerhead shark which caused huge media attention when reported to have been seen for the first time on the Irish coastline, but actually seems never to have been in Irish waters.
