Ballyglass Coast Guard Unit in Co Mayo operates out of an old facility commonly referred to as a Rocket House.

The Coast Guard, which is a division of my Department, in conjunction with the Office of Public Works, has been evaluating options for the provision of more modern facilities for the Unit. The current position is that a site has been identified and is the subject of a feasibility study.  This project is being actively pursued by my Department as part of a programme of older station upgrades around the country.
