View answerThe programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation around the country is progressed by the Garda authorities working in close co-operation with the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that while there are currently no plans for upgrade works at the Garda station referred to by the Deputy the on-going requirements of the station are being kept under review.
