Ms Deirdre O'Keeffe:

Our aim is to make sure that the volunteers and those who work in the Coast Guard have the best possible facilities available to do their jobs safely. That is our basic objective and policy. There are some very old buildings in use by the Coast Guard, some of which we are trying to upgrade, maintain and improve. We have a building programme. The focus at the moment is on Greystones and Westport. Both of those will start construction early in 2022. There are other projects around the coast. Some of the existing buildings are called rocket houses and, as I am sure the Senator is aware, they date back to the 19th century and do not provide the necessary accommodation to house 24-7 response units. Some new building projects are urgently required in those areas in terms of health and safety. In regard to any specific building project, Mr. Clonan might be better qualified to answer a question on a specific project.
