Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management and control of An Garda Síochána and for the effective and efficient use of Garda resources, including all Garda stations. Further, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. Works in relation to Garda accommodation are therefore progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the OPW.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the works in Longford Garda Station are ongoing and it is anticipated that these works will be completed shortly. I am further informed that an opening day will be considered when the works are completed.
