Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
534. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding a Garda station (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54932/17]
View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that the programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works (OPW), which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. This includes identifying and progressing any necessary remedial or refurbishment works required at individual stations. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I have, however, been informed by the Garda authorities that the OPW are in discussions concerning refurbishments to the station in question. Following the outcome of these discussions, the timeframe for any works will be considered having regard to the funding available.
