Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 October 2004
107 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the progress over the summer months of 2004 on the project to provide a new Garda station at Leixlip, County Kildare; the extent to which the issue has been advanced in that period with particular reference to the need to proceed without delay; when it is likely that the station will be built and commissioned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerA revised brief was received from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform which has increased the scale of the Garda station. In consequence it has been necessary to open negotiations with Kildare County Council with a view to maximising the development potential of the proposed station site. It is hoped to complete these negotiations as soon as possible to finalise a revised sketch scheme for the new station which will be issued to the Department for its approval.
