Question 430: To ask the Minister for Transport the progress he has made on the provision of a new building for the Doolin Coastguard and Rescue Service; if he expects negotiations for the acquisition of a site to end soon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27333/06]

I have in the recent past indicated to the House 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 have also indicated to the House that I do not consider it judicious to elaborate upon these negotiations in public at this time. I would again emphasise 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.
