558 Mr. M. Smith asked the Minister for Justice the current position with regard to the provision of a new Garda Station at Templemore, County Tipperary. [14953/96]
It has been concluded that it may be possible to satisfy the accommodation needs at Templemore Garda Station by building an extension. The Office of Public Works are accordingly preparing a sketch scheme on this basis which will determine if requirements can be met in this way. It is expected that this sketch scheme will be available shortly.
