RIVERDANCE SEA RESCUE

That this House applauds the skill, dedication and bravery of the UK's emergency and rescue services in performing their duties on land and at sea; draws particular attention to all those involved in the rescue of the crew and passengers on board the stricken ferry Riverdance in horrendous weather conditions in the Irish Sea; and highlights the heroic efforts of the RAF Valley aircrew, Rich Taylor, Lee Turner, Giles Ratcliffe and John Stevens, the Royal Navy, and British and Irish coastguards in the operation.
