The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern that Connor Markward, 16, died on 23 July 2021, while playing with friends in the loch near Balloch Country Park; understands that Edina Olahova, 29, Rana Haris Ali, nine, and Muhammad Asim Riaz, 39, died after getting into difficulty in the water off Pulpit Rock, near Ardlui; appreciates the selfless acts of those assisting others in what is sometimes the final moments between life and death; recognises the invaluable service that the lifeboat crews provided to four drowning incidents in just two days in Loch Lomond over the summer period, and asks that they be supported in finding a permanent home for this greatly needed service.
