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

The Commissioners of Public Works have recently completed the acquisition of a site at Tralee Road, Castleisland, County Kerry for the erection of Garda area headquarters. On receipt of a brief of requirements from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, a sketch scheme will be prepared for the Department and Garda approval. This will be followed by a Part 9 planning approval process. It is anticipated that a contract for this project will be placed at the end of 2006.
