Question:

315 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in progressing the new Garda station promised for Ballymun; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5919/05]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

Before a new station can be built in Ballymun, it is necessary for the State to have secured a suitable site there.

In that regard, I understand that the Commissioners of Public Works are in negotiation with Ballymun Regeneration Limited regarding a specific site. Once secured, the planning process for the new station can commence.
