384 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in relation to the repair of the Garda station (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18139/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 486 of Tuesday 22 March 2005, which sets out the position in relation to this Garda station. In view of the condition of the existing station, the Office of Public Works has been asked to provide suitable temporary accommodation as a matter of urgency pending the construction of the proposed new station.
385 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the acquisition of a new site was considered when plans were being drawn up for the upgrading of a Garda station (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18140/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is proposed to build an extension to the station mentioned by the Deputy. I understand from the Garda authorities that the acquisition of a new site was not considered necessary as the proposed plans adequately meet the needs of the local Gardaí for the foreseeable future.
When the Garda authorities have signed off on the scheme, the Office of Public Works will be requested to progress the works to conclusion.
