The Cleggan Unit of the Coast Guard is on the priority list for the OPW Building Programme which is funded by my Department and managed by the Office of Public Works.

OPW has carried out a feasibility study on a potential site at the air strip which is owned by the Department of Rural and Community Development. Good progress has been made on this important facility which is now awaiting presentation to the internal Project Oversight Group in the OPW for allocation of full design team resources. Property Management of OPW are also liaising with the Department of Rural and Community Development regarding formal site acquisition.
