Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
622. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if capital funding has been allocated for a new building (details supplied); if so, the total amount of funding which is being made available; the timeline for when the allocated funding is to be spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30253/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraNo funding has been specifically allocated to a building project at Malin Head Rescue Coordination Centre, due to the fact that this project is in its infancy stage at present. I can confirm that my Department has submitted a request to OPW to renovate facilities at Malin Head. I am aware that the OPW is examining the feasibility of the site location and has a number of preliminary stage inspections to complete prior to commencing work on any detailed plans, which would ultimately inform funding requirements.
I am not in a position to anticipate the timeframe in relation to the completion of these inspections or the drafting of detailed plans.
