The Department of Transport and the Irish Coast Guard are responsible for the financing of Coast Guard station projects. The Office of Public Works is responsible for site acquisition, design, construction and delivery of these projects on behalf of D/Transport and ICG.
In late 2022, the OPW secured planning permission for a new coast guard station at Castlefreke. The OPW is now in the detailed design phase of the project and in the process of preparing tender documentation. It is anticipated that this project will be tendered in the second half of 2024 and that a contract will be placed before the end of the year.
