The Office of Public Works have advised my Department that they are in the process of purchasing a suitable site close to Doolin Pier for a Coast Guard Station House. Survey work in connection with this process is underway.

Subject to the successful conclusion of this process by OPW and in consultation with the Coast Guard, OPW architectural staff will produce plans for the Station House taking account of operational and planning requirements prior to submission of a planning application to Clare County Council.

The position regarding the development of Doolin Pier is a matter for Clare County Council.
