Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 April 2017
407. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the estimated amount it would cost to reopen Stepaside Garda station in terms of work required to the existing building; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16058/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe reopening of closed Garda stations is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána and is currently subject to a review being carried out by An Garda Síochána.
I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that it is not possible to cost the reopening of the former Garda station at Stepaside as no decision has been reached on whether the former Garda station at Stepaside is to reopen as a Garda Station.
In addition, it is not possible for the OPW to cost any works without receiving a full brief of requirements from An Garda Síochána.
