Question:

155. Deputy Stephen Donnelly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the timeline for the planned works and-or upgrading to be carried out to the Garda station in Greystones, County Wicklow; if such works are contingent on the Coast Guard moving from its current location beside the Garda station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The refurbishment of Greystones Garda Station is included in the "Capital Works Programme 2016-2021" for An Garda Síochána.  Planned works include the refurbishment of the existing Station and redevelopment of adjacent buildings.  These works are contingent on the Coast Guard moving from its current location in the adjacent buildings beside the Garda Station. 

It is envisaged, following a deliberative process with An Garda Siochana, that during the overall programme timeframe, the planned works will be undertaken at the Station.
