Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2008
528 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will provide details and report on the status of planned refurbishment works to a Garda station (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25478/08]
View answerThe detailed allocation of Garda resources, including accommodation, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his identified operational requirements. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the planned refurbishment works for the station referred to by the Deputy include upgrading of public office and reception facilities as well as improved accommodation for garda staff.
I have been advised by the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation, that preparation of tender documentation is currently underway with works expected to commence later this year and be completed in 2009.
