354.

The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS) and the Irish Coastguard Service (IRCG) are responsible for the financing of Coast Guard Station Projects. The Office of Public Works (OPW) provides advice on the design of such projects and manages their delivery in line with the requirements of the two bodies concerned. The current position is that the Department, the IRCG and the OPW are reviewing the scope of a project for Greystones that will meet their requirements at that location within their overall budgetary parameters. The potential timeframe for the completion of any works involved should become clearer, once this review has been completed.
The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the potential cost of building a facility in Greystones in advance of the procurement process for the construction works involved.
