Question:

239 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance the position regarding the acquisition of a site for the proposed new Garda station at Castleisland, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4787/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The Commissioners of Public Works have identified a number of sites in Castleisland for a new Garda station on behalf of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

The acquisition of a suitable site will depend on an acceptable price being reached with the vendor, the priority accorded to Castleisland by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and availability of sufficient funds to complete the purchase.
