Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2018
533. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the location of each of the 58 coastguard stations that are operational; if they have Internet, running water and bathroom facilities; and the coastguard stations that have been identified for upgrades, in tabular form. [4070/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Coast Guard, a Division of my Department, has 45 Units based in 58 coast guard stations.
The Coast Guard building programme makes provision for works to commence on new station houses for Coast Guard Units. At present, a number of Units operate from old rocket houses; these buildings have long been identified as being in need of more suitable facilities. The Coast Guard in conjunction with the Office of Public Works design new station houses and the OPW engage in discussions with the Local Authorities in respect of certain key issues. The rate of progress on these projects will depend on the timelines required for the various phases, the capital funding and other resources available; matters are being overseen and closely monitored by the Coast Guard personnel in my Department. As new build projects are completed, additional projects are put on the IRCG Building Programme.
Please see the following table.
Of these 58 stations: 26 unit buildings have running water, bathroom facilities and internet facilities. 12 unit buildings have running water, bathroom facilities but no internet. 1 unit building has running water but no bathroom or internet facilities. Of the remaining 19 buildings without running water, bathroom or internet facilities, 17 are old Rocket Houses. 10 of these are sub-units or secondary Unit buildings, the main Unit buildings having facilities.
