I propose to take QuestionsNos. 149 and 150 together.
Having completed a feasibility study on the redevelopment of the existing Garda station site at Tallaght, the Commissioners of Public Works have decided that the site will be offered for sale on the open market on condition that the purchaser constructs a new Garda station on a designated part of the site to a specification approved by the OPW and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The new station will fully address all Garda requirements in Tallaght, and a sketch scheme will be drawn up for the Department's approval in the next few months. Following receipt of planning approval for the Garda station, the site will be offered for sale on the open market on the basis that the purchaser must deliver the new Garda station in a definite timeframe. It is expected that the new station will be available by the end of 2006.
