As I have stated in reply to the Deputy in February, I regard the provision of a new station house for the Doolin coastal unit as a very high priority. The negotiations with a landowner about a site to which I also referred are still taking place and are at an advanced stage. I cannot elaborate on these negotiations in public at this time but can only reiterate what I have said, namely, that as soon as a site has been acquired my Department's objective is to proceed as quickly as possible to develop the station house.
