The Irish Coast Guard (IRCG) ((アイルランド語:Garda Cósta na hÉireann)) is part of the Department of Transport. The ''Irish Search and Rescue Region'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dttas.ie/maritime/ircg/searchrescue )〕 which includes most of the Republic of Ireland and some parts of Northern Ireland is the area over which the Coast Guard has responsibility.〔(The Marine Search and Rescue Region ), Department of Transport. Retrieved 11 December 2014.〕 This area is bordered by the UK Search and Rescue Region. == Status and role == Unlike the model used in some other countries, the coast guard in Ireland is not part of the Irish Defence Forces. It does however call on their assistance through the use of its Air Corps and Naval assets. It operates as a Division of the Department of Transport under the Maritime Safety Directorate. Together with the Mercantile Marine Office, the Maritime Safety Directorate comprises two main sections, the Maritime Safety and Marine Environment Division (MSED) and the Marine Survey Office (MSO): *The ''Maritime Safety and Marine Environment Division'' is responsible for maritime safety, security policy (not armed or national security policy, which is exclusively the responsibility of the Department of Defence) legislation (including leisure safety), aids to navigation, corporate governance of the Commissioners of Irish Lights and marine environment protection issues. *The ''Marine Survey Office'' deals with the inspection, survey, certification and licensing of vessels and vessels radio equipment; the examination and certification of seafarers competencies; enforcement of standards by way of audits on organisation and facilities and prosecutions for breaches of regulations. The Marine Survey Office also includes the Marine Radio Affairs Unit (MRAU). While in some jurisdictions they are the responsibility of the Coast Guard, in Ireland, fisheries patrols are carried out by the Irish Air Corps and Irish Naval Service and drug smuggling patrols by the Irish Air Corps, Customs, Gardaí and the Naval Service. (However, all the above government services can at any time request assistance from each other when needed.) Irish Coast Guard personnel are forbidden from carrying any type of weapons and have no security or defence duties in respect of national police or defence. The coast guard is however responsible for: *Search and Rescue *Marine communications network *Marine safety awareness *Pollution and salvage response in the marine environment (the Marine Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC) in Dublin coordinates all pollution & salvage control in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).) Note that not all Irish Coast Guards have enforcement powers – only some officers under warrant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irish Coast Guard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
