Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works (OPW) is managing the delivery of the new redevelopment of Athlone Garda Station. Based on the information to date and the assumption that the ESB diversion works will be completed in January 2020,  the revised contractor's programme estimates substantial completion of Phase 2 in Q3/Q4 2020.

Refurbishment work on the Athlone Garda Water Unit property has commenced and it is expected that the works will be completed during the Summer of 2020.
