Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
485. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he is satisfied that the Garda station premises at Killala, County Mayo is adequately accessible for persons with disabilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2501/13]
View answerI understand that the Office of Public Works has a programme in place to provide disabled access to public buildings, including Garda stations, on a phased basis. This programme is progressed in conjunction with Garda priorities and the availability of resources from within the Vote of the Office of Public Works.
I have been informed by the Garda authorities that, bearing in mind the very difficult financial climate, there are currently no plans for refurbishment works to be carried out at Killala Garda station. However, I understand that the situation in relation to the station is being kept under review.
