Vol. 371 No. 2

Written Answers. - Tallaght (Dublin) Former Garda Station.

28.

asked the Minister for Finance if a request has been received from Tallaght Community Council, County Dublin to make the old Tallaght Garda station available for local community use; if he will favourably consider this request, having regard to the urgent need for such a community facility there and the overwhelming wish of the people of the area that it should be so; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A request has been received by the Commissioners of Public Works from Tallaght Community Council to make the former Tallaght Garda station property available to them.

However, the Department of Social Welfare are currently examining the suitability of the site for a new employment exchange which is badly needed in the Tallaght area. Until they have taken a decision in the matter the property cannot be declared surplus to State requirements and the commissioners are not empowered to offer it for sale.
