Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
129. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No.174 of 18 October 2016, the status of an issue (details supplied); the status of its location; the amount it cost; the timeframe for development; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37604/16]
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 Parliamentary Question No. 174 of 18 October 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.
