Vol. 449 No. 7
186 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Justice if the divisional headquarters for the Louth/Meath Division of the Garda Síochána will remain in Dundalk, County Louth; if there are plans for relocating of same elsewhere in the division; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4669/95]
197 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Justice the plans, if any, she has to change the Garda divisional headquarters for Louth and Meath from Dundalk; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4450/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 and 197 together.
I recently approved a proposal from the Commissioner to transfer the Garda divisional headquarters for the Louth/Meath division from Dundalk to Drogheda. A new Garda station is being built in Drogehda at present as a divisional headquarters. The transfer will take place when the work at Drogheda Garda station is completed. It is envisaged that this work will be completed in the latter half of this year.
