Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
498 Mr. Grealish asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the status of the provision of a new city-type Garda station in Oranmore to cater for the east side of Galway city in view of the fact that the current station in Oranmore has to be vacated by July 2005, and it is imperative that the new station be fully functional by that time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17454/04]
View answerAs it is planned to build a new Garda station in Oranmore, the Office of Public Works has been asked to provide a revised sketch scheme for a new city-type station for further consideration by the Garda authorities. While it is not possible to say when the project will commence, I assure the Deputy that the matter will be progressed as quickly as possible in view of the time constraints involved. If the new station is not completed by June 2005, I understand from the Office of Public Works that appropriate temporary accommodation will be provided until the new station is ready for occupation.
