Question:

87 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Finance the reason for the delay in the renovation of Dunmanway Garda station; and if arrangements for same are being put in place. [29537/04]

Written answers

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

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that the proposal for the refurbishment of Dunmanway Garda station was contingent on the acquisition of portion of the adjoining site. Protracted negotiations with the adjoining landowner for the acquisition of the plot of land have proven difficult and the commissioners are now reviewing the long-term proposals for Dunmanway Garda station with the Garda authorities.
