Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

No contractual commitment has been made to purchase a site for a new Garda Station at Bailieborough, County Cavan. Acquisition of sites for Garda Stations is a matter for the Office of Public Works in conjunction with An Garda Síochána. The position at Bailieborough, County Cavan will continue to be reviewed in the context of the priority accorded to it by An Garda Síochána and subject to the availability of funding, which is extremely limited.
