I regard the provision of a new station house for the Doolin coastal unit as a very high priority. I understand that the process of acquiring a site has been difficult to date and this has delayed this much-needed development. However, as indicated to the House on 15 November 2005, negotiations are under way with a landowner about a site.

These negotiations are now at a very advanced stage and as soon as a site has been acquired my Department's objective is to proceed as quickly as possible to develop the station house.
