Ceist:

107 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance when all the arrangements for the provision of the proposed new Garda station at Leixlip, County Kildare will be completed with a view to identification of a start up date in respect of site works; if his attention has been drawn to the long drawn out nature and complete exacerbation of the public arising from the continued delays; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The final date for the receipt of submissions under the Part 9 consultation process is 2 February 2006.

Commencement of construction will depend on the outcome of the Part 9 consultation process, tendering process and the appointment of a suitable contractor. It is expected that construction work will commence on site by the end of the year.
