Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 June 2004
273 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the arrangements put in place at Shannon Industrial Estate regarding setting up a Garda station and holding cells for prisoners; and the cost of same. [19773/04]
View answerOn the advice of the Garda authorities, I designated, on a temporary basis, a converted commercial unit in Shannon Industrial Estate as a Garda station and place of detention because facilities at Shannon Garda station would not have been sufficient to accommodate a large number of prisoners in the event of serious public disorder.
The costs associated with the works necessary to convert the commercial unit into a Garda station and holding cells are not yet available.
