Vol. 386 No. 3

Written Answers. - Drogheda (Louth) Garda Barracks.

33.

asked the Minister for Finance the reason for the continuing delay in the provision of the new replacement Garda barracks, Drogheda, County Louth; when sanction will be given to this much needed development; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The legal formalities involved in the purchase of the site for a new Garda station in Drogheda which are complex and time consuming are in the process of being completed. The site adjoins the remains of an ancient monastic foundation and for this reason it is proposed to carry out an archaeological investigation of the site early this year. Pending the completion of this work detailed planning of the scheme cannot be finalised. It is not possible, therefore, to indicate at this stage when the erection of the Garda station will commence.
