Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
245. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will address a matter (details supplied) regarding the fitting of cell windows that do not conform to standards set by the OPW; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37113/17]
View answerThe Office of Public Works (OPW) takes the safety and welfare of all users of Garda cells, and of OPW-managed buildings generally, very seriously. I can confirm that OPW has no reason to believe that the specification and installation of cell windows at the project sites you mentioned are not in accordance with the appropriate standards. However, OPW is continuing to look into the matter to establish whether there is any basis to the allegations and whether any action is necessary in order to confirm compliance with the relevant specifications.
