Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda stations is based on accommodation priorities which are established by An Garda Síochána. The programme is advanced in close co-operation with the Office of Public Works (OPW), which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

I am informed that the Garda authorities are currently examining the refurbishment of the station in question in conjunction with the OPW.
