Written answers

The 2020 Budget allocation for the Irish Coast Guard is €70,755,000 for Current Expenditure and €4,033,000 for Capital.

The majority of the Current allocation is spent on the Search and Rescue helicopter service while the bulk of the Capital  allocation goes on the building and maintenance of Coast Guard stations.

A 4% increase would result in a Current Allocation for 2021 of  €73,585,200 (+€ 2,830,200) with Capital being €4,194,320 (+€8,227,320).
