Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Kevin Boxer Moran)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 171 and 172 together.

It is expected that tender evaluation for the works for Ballinasloe Garda Station will be completed in the near future, following which a contract should be placed by the end of the year. Once the contract is placed, details in relation to the contract amount and start date will be available.
