121 Deputy Jonathan O’Brien asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the amount of money spent on refurbishment of Loughlinn Garda station, County Roscommon; and his future plans for this station. [40103/11]
Amharc ar fhreagra124 Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the full expenditure to date on a project (details supplied); and if he will outline in a tabular basis showing construction, design costs and any other cost. [40119/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 121 and 124 together.
Prior to the decision being taken by Government in December 2011 that Loughglynn Garda Station is to be closed, the Commissioners of Public Works had awarded contracts for maintenance works, consisting primarily of asbestos removal and the replacement of windows, in September 2011.
The expenditure to date is as follows:
|
Classification of works |
Cost |
VAT |
Total |
|
Fascia, soffit repair, window replacement and consequential internal repairs. |
€19,800.00 |
€2,673.00 |
€22,473.00 |
|
Minor electrical works associated with above works |
€2,046.00 |
€276.21 |
€2,322.21 |
On completion of the electrical works and the asbestos removal works further expenditure of €37,750 approx., is expected.
No decision has yet been taken as to the future of this property when vacated by An Garda Síochána. I have asked my Office to set out on a case by case basis the potential uses for this and other Garda properties. I have an open mind as to their future use.
