The Irish Coast Guard of the Department is actively seeking to acquire a suitable site for construction of a new Station House for the Kilkee Coast Guard Unit. Site acquisition has to date proved difficult. The Coast Guard funds all costs of the Kilkee Unit, and of all 54 similar Units around the country, for accommodation, equipment and training as well as for exercise and call-out allowances.
