With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 64 and 65 together.
It is proposed to provide a new central Garda station at Coolbawn, Nenagh, to replace the existing stations at Puckaun and Ballinderry. I am informed by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance that the purchase of a site for the new central station at Coolbawn has recently been completed. Tenders have not yet been invited, and it is not possible at this stage to say when the new station will be completed.
The stations at Ballinderry and Puckaun will not be closed until the new station at Coolbawn has been completed.
