I propose to take Questions Nos. 157 to 161, inclusive, together.
In the case of Finglas Garda station, which is not of an acceptable standard, I have already stated that immediate priority is being given to providing a new Garda station there. A suitable site has been identified by the Office of Public Works on the Mellowes Road, and I understand that it is in negotiation to agree the terms for the purchase.
The Deputy will appreciate that the precise date when construction of the new station can commence is in the first instance dependent on the site being acquired by the Office of Public Works. In that regard, I am assured that the purchase is being pursued as quickly as possible.
In the interim, in addition to carrying out certain necessary refurbishment works to the station, the Office of Public Works is endeavouring to negotiate a short-term lease for additional space in Finglas village to alleviate the accommodation problems at the station.
