Coast Guard Service
Seanad Éireann — 2022-02-24
============================================================

Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

It has been prioritised as a coastguard station, and one of the stations that is in most need of new facilities. It is on the building programme priority list. The Irish Coast Guard and the OPW are fully committed to providing a unit with a fully functioning coastguard station in that area. The OPW has already commenced the preliminary investigative works in respect of the six possible sites that have been identified for the new coastguard station. As I said, I am happy to come back to the House and update the Senator. We will keep in touch in relation to progress because I am aware that the facilities are needed and required. It is on the priority list. Let us work together to ensure that adequate progress is made.
