‹ Order of Business (Resumed) Coast Guard station retention
Summary
Senator Coghlan welcomes the decision to retain the Coast Guard stations at Valentia and Malin Head, praising their longstanding service.
I welcome the announcement by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Leo Varadkar, yesterday of the retention of the Coast Guard stations at Valentia and Malin Head. They have rendered sterling service to the State during the years.
It is significant that AIB conducted a bond issue yesterday of €500 million - we are aware of the one by Bank of Ireland - which was four times over-subscribed.
