Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works has been engaged by the Department of Transport Coast Guard Service to examine the feasibility of the construction of a vehicle storage unit for the Iveragh / Waterville Coast Guard Station. A feasible storage unit option to meet the requirements of the Coast Guard has been identified at the site of the former Garda Station.

There is ongoing engagement with an adjoining land owner at the site in order to reach agreement on the future use. It is not expected that this will cause any unusual delay to the project. Work is ongoing on the details of a final design aimed at bringing the proposal forward to formal planning stage.
