There are plans to update and extend the facilities at Sligo Garda Station. In order to explore all options, the Garda authorities have identified a number of sites that may be suitable and this information has been forwarded to the Office of Public Works. The acquisition of sites, where required, is primarily a matter for OPW and when their report on the sites mentioned above is to hand, consideration will then be given to how best to progress this project.
I should add that as with all projects on the Garda Building Programme progress is dependent on overall agreed priorities. The Garda Building Programme is progressed and prioritised, with the cooperation and commitment of all concerned — my Department, the Garda authorities and Representative Associations and the Office of Public Works from whose Vote such capital works are funded.
