I have indicated to the Deputy in response to similar questions that 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, also previously referred to, are still taking place and are at an advanced stage.

I prefer not to elaborate upon these negotiations in public at this time but can only reiterate what I have said, namely, that as soon as a suitable site has been acquired my Department's objective is to proceed as quickly as possible to develop the station house.
