View answerThe Office of Public Works has been requested by An Garda Síochána to progress the reopening of six former Garda Stations including the Station at Bawnboy, Co. Cavan. A brief of requirements for this Station was obtained from An Garda Síochána and a full technical assessment completed. The deliberative process between An Garda Síochána and OPW to finalise proposals for the re-opening is continuing. Upon final 'sign-off' by An Garda Síochána, OPW will submit the necessary Part 9 planning application and progress the procurement of works required to re-open the Station which, it is expected, will take place this year.
