The Coast Guard building programme, which includes the provision of new or upgraded facilities at a number of locations across the country, is managed by the Office of Public Works (OPW) on behalf of the Department of Transport. These projects are funded by the Department of Transport.

New accommodation for the Kilmore Quay Coast Guard Unit is included as one of the key priorities on this delivery programme. The Commissioners of Public Works have acquired a site in Kilmore Quay from Wexford County Council and the development of the new Coast Guard facility will progress in accordance with the availability of resources.
