Providing a suitable building for the Irish Coast Guard volunteer unit in Doolin to enable it to operate in a more suitable and efficient manner remains a priority for my Department. Funding to develop Coast Guard station houses, provided to the Department in the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Programme 2012 to 2016, is targeted in the first instance on the provision of a new station house in Killybegs, Co. Donegal during the period 2012 and early 2013. Provision of the station house for the Doolin unit is currently targeted to commence in the latter half of 2013.
