Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I am informed by the Office of Public Works, who have responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation, that plans to refurbish the station referred to by the Deputy are at an advanced stage. It is anticipated that invitations to tender will issue in the coming weeks and work will commence upon successful completion of the tender process.
