I propose to take Questions Nos. 253 and 254 together.

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that they are working closely with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS) on identifying alternative options for the building of a coast guard station in Greystones that will be acceptable to the Department from a funding perspective. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on specific options under consideration at this stage.
