Vol. 558 No. 1

Written Answers. - Garda Stations.

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

430 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in progressing the new Garda station in Ballymun, Dublin 9; if a decision has been reached on the status of the new station; if progress has been made in securing the proposed site by the Office of Public Works; and, in view of the unacceptable conditions at the current Ballymun station, the precise timescale for the construction and commissioning of the new station. [23380/02]

It is proposed to build a Garda divisional headquarters station in Ballymun. Planning for the station is being advanced through consultation with the Garda authorities and the Office of Public Works. A suitable site has been secured, and a brief of requirements for the new station is currently being prepared. While it is not possible to say at this point when the project will commence, I can assure the Deputy that the matter will be progressed as quickly as overall priorities within the Garda building programme and the availability of financial and other resources allow.
