the Commissioners of Irish Lights, the Northern Lighthouse Board and Trinity House, operate an integrated aids to navigation service throughout the coastal waters of Britain and Ireland. This service is delivered to recognised standards set by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) so as to meet the responsibilities of the British and Irish Governments under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS). The joint Mission Statement of the GLA is to: “To deliver a reliable, efficient and cost effective Aids to Navigation Service for the benefit and safety of all mariners.” This is the fifth 5 yearly Review whereby a formal, simultaneous and coordinated assessment of all the Aids to Navigation (AtoN) under their responsibility is undertaken by the three GLA. This Review addresses the current and anticipated future requirements for the safe passage of national and international shipping. It also addresses the requirements of other mariners, such as fishing and leisure users. The mandate of the GLA and their statutory responsibility is to provide sufficient aids to navigation to mitigate risks and protect the marine environment. The GLA work with Government, shipping interests, and other stakeholders to minimise this cost. The GLA Marine Aids to Navigation Strategy to 2030 (2030 Navigating the Future), forms the strategic foundation of this Review. Various policy considerations are contained in the GLA Joint Navigation Requirement Policies (JNRP-2012) and the Marine Navigation Plan (2016). These documents expand the strategic view. As detailed in the AtoN Review Policy document which is contained in the JNRP, it should be recognised that the nature of shipping and navigation continues to change. Consequently the AtoN infrastructure to assist safe passage requires periodic review to ensure that the AtoNs provided are appropriate. The requirement and the rate of change vary geographically depending on a number of factors. Within the GLA areas it is considered that a Strategic Plan and Operational Plan (i.e. 5 year AtoN Review) caters for the longer and short term review requirements. The principle applied is that the amount, mix and nature

Milk would only last a couple of days, so it was great to have the goats. They were well looked after.” Former lighthouse keeper Eddie Fitzgerald is telling me about life on Ballycotton Island in east Cork. I have visited the village on the mainland before, but the little green island and its black lighthouse tower always had an air of mystery, as the island had been out of bounds for visitors — until now. Fitzgerald teaches me about the life of a lightkeeper. He tells us about the paraffin oil-powered freezer where they used to store extra meat or milk before the days of electric fridges, and about the 10 goats. “I could be here all day telling you stories about the goats,” he laughs. Ballycotton lighthouse was first lit in 1851 and for the following 141 years, until Step in the lighthouse was automated, lightkeepers lived on the island. For the first 50 years, two families at a time lived on the island — the children were rowed across to school and back — but later it was just the keepers there for a month at a time, with no shore excursions, even though the lighthouse was less than a mile from shore.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.
