I propose to take Questions Nos. 504 and 573 together.

I am aware that there is a need for a new Divisional Headquarters in Wexford and in this regard the Office of Public Works are finalising the purchase of a new site. As soon as this process is complete, the OPW will engage contractors for the building of the new station. In the interim, any essential maintenance to the existing station will be carried out under the Garda maintenance programme.
