I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 and 25 together.
The Office of Public Works can confirm the following Garda stations in Laois and Offaly are subject to internal renovation, retrofitting and/or capital works. The Garda Stations, the nature of the works, the stage the projects are at currently, and the expected completion date of the works is outlined in the table below, and include only works valued in excess of €200,000 excl VAT. As these projects are not yet complete the budget estimates are considered commercially sensitive at this time. The works outlined relate to works funded by both OPW and An Garda Síochána.
The commencement/completion dates for the works are subject to the final sign off, of operational and design requirements by An Garda Síochána and successful tendering process.
