History: Tramore Coastguard Station was built in 1874 as a base for the regional branch of the Irish Coastguard. It consisted of a 3 storey officer’s residence and 6 cottages. It was used by the Coastguard service until 1922. In 1924 the Garda Síochána took up occupation of the building. The station was used as a Garda Barracks and Gardaí and their families lived in the 6 residential cottages. The Gardaí vacated the building in 1988 when they moved to a new station in Market Street, Tramore. The building remained unoccupied and was destroyed by a fire in October 2000. Renovation: In 2002 the Office of Public Works commenced work to restore and preserve the property. Every effort was made to retain the architectural and historical integrity of this landmark building which is located on a prominent site overlooking Tramore Bay. The magnificently restored building was officially opened by Minister Martin Cullen and Minister of State Tom Parlon on 28th May, 2004. Today: The 3 storey station house and 2 of the cottages are used by the Tramore unit of the Irish Coast Guard. A modern boathouse and training facilities meet the needs of this State-run emergency service responsible for maritime Search & Rescue. Irish Water Safety: Irish Water Safety is the statutory voluntary body established to promote water safety in Ireland. The Waterford County branch of the association is based in the renovated original boathouse which forms part of the Tramore Coast Guard Station complex. Community Arts Space: 4 of the original cottages were developed as a 2 storey open plan exhibition space with modern reception, lift and toilet facilities. This space is run by Waterford County Council who is working to create a vibrant centre for arts, crafts & heritage activities. Home to a number of local art groups, this venue is a wonderful and unique exhibition space. It can be used for book launches, readings, small musical recitals and plays. Over the last six years it has held many exhibitions by local as well as national and international artists. We have held concerts by local, national and international musicians. The aim of the Coastguard Station Cultural Centre is to development art, culture and heritage for the community of Tramore and the surrounding areas. Opening hours from January 2013 will be: Monday - Friday 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Saturday 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. We will be closed on Sundays from January until further notice.

Arklow (from the old Norse Arnkell-lág "meadow of Arnkell"— called in Irish: An tInbhear Mór, meaning "The great estuary"), also known as Inbhear Dé from the Avonmore River’s older name Abhainn Dé, is a historic town located in County Wicklow on the east coast of the country. Founded by the Vikings in the ninth century, Arklow was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the 1798 rebellion. Arklow is situated at the mouth of the River Avoca (formerly Avonmore), the longest river entirely within County Wicklow. The town is divided by the river, which is crossed by the Nineteen Arches Bridge, a stone arch bridge linking the south or main part of the town with the north part, called Ferrybank. The Nineteen Arches bridge is the longest hand made stone bridge in Ireland and is considered a famous landmark. The plaque which is situated on the south end of the bridge is testimony to this Arklow's proximity to Dublin which is approximately 80kms and its consequent attractiveness to commuters has led to much expansion in recent years.
