Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
174. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the location of the new building acquired by the OPW for the new Garda station in Bailieborough; if there is funding in place for this project; if there is a date for works to go to tender; when it is envisaged it will be complete; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30890/16]
View answerThe Office of Public Works has the primary responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation and works closely with the Garda authorities in this regard, and I, as Minister, have no role in these matters.
The position remains as outlined in my response to the Deputy's question number 76 of 21 June 2016 wherein I indicated that the Office of Public Works is progressing legal matters relating to the acquisition of a site for the proposed new Garda station in Bailieborough. The Deputy will appreciate that, until these matters are complete, it is not possible to provide an exact timeline and details concerning procurement or costing of the new station.
