As the Deputy is aware, it is proposed to transfer the divisional headquarters of Garda DMA south division to Tallaght Garda station. In this regard, I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the current accommodation at Tallaght Garda station is not sufficient to facilitate the transfer of the divisional officer and his staff from Crumlin to Tallaght. As soon as the accommodation requirements of a divisional headquarters are in place at Tallaght Garda station, the divisional headquarters of DMA south will be transferred to Tallaght station.
It is proposed to construct a new divisional headquarters in Tallaght as part of a joint development between the Office of Public Works and South Dublin County Council. The Office of Public Works has conducted a feasibility study of redeveloping the site at Tallaght which is now being considered by the Garda authorities. Accordingly, it is not possible to give a timeframe for the commencement of this project.
