Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that the property in Enfield was purchased at the behest of An Garda Síochána in 2007 to address their operational requirements.

The OPW are entering discussions with An Garda Síochána to review the operational necessity for this building. The outcome of these discussions will determine the future use of the facility.

While discussions are ongoing it is not possible to comment on the future use of the property.
