View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 432 and 433 together.
The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána. This programme is brought forward in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works, which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.
I regret that current information with regard to the matters raised by the Deputy is not readily to hand. I will write to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
