View answerThe provision of facilities for the Coast Guard in Greystones is a priority on the Building Programme for the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). A site owned by Wicklow County Council (WCC) has been identified as being suitable for this purpose. Planning permission has been granted and the tender documents are being finalised. It is anticipated that the OPW will commence the tender process over the coming weeks.
The provision of the new facility is currently estimated to take approximately 14 months from construction commencement to completion.
