154 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a new Garda station will be provided for Kilfinane, County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3632/06]
View answerKilfinane was one of eight Garda stations in counties Limerick and Tipperary which were selected by the Office of Public Works, following consultation with my Department and the Garda authorities, for inclusion in that office's pilot equity exchange programme which was publicised in 2004.
The Office of Public Works considered that the level of interest expressed was not adequate to meet the requirements of the programme. However, further consideration is being given by the office to an alternative approach, in consultation with my Department and the Garda authorities. Accordingly, the Deputy will appreciate that it is not possible at this time to indicate when a new Garda station will be provided at Kilfinane.
