Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The OPW continues to progress the procurement of a suitable site for the new Garda Station in question. I can confirm that the site referred to by the Deputy is on the list of sites under consideration. All parties that made submissions will be informed of the decision once a site for the new Station has been procured.
