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

The Commissioners of Public Works have identified a suitable site adjoining the existing Garda station in Ballincollig which would facilitate the development of a new enlarged Garda station. An architectural assessment has now been completed on the adjoining site. A final decision in relation to acquisition will be made shortly in consultation with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Garda authorities.
