Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has completed works at 95 Garda Stations Nationwide under the Cell Anti Ligature Programme. In addition there are currently works at 4 garda station with 11 more identified for delivery 2022/2023. All details can be found in the tables below.

It is not possible, in the timeframe provided for responding to the PQ, to provide the completion costs for each individual station and in this regard, the OPW will revert to the deputy directly on this aspect of their request.

Those stations identified as planned for 2022 and 2023 are subject to the final sign off of operational and design requirements by An Garda Síochána and a successful tendering process.

The OPW and An Garda Síochána meet on a monthly basis to assess the cell refurbishment works and to adjust and reprioritise the works as necessary.
