404. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his plans to address the future use of a Garda station (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28692/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The new Garda station at Mulgannon Road, Wexford Town is scheduled to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2017.

When An Garda Síochána vacate the existing station at Roche’s Road, Wexford, OPW Property Management Division will examine the property to establish if there is any alternative State use for it.

I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that on completion of this examination a decision on the future use of the property will be made.
