Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of Public Works (OPW) is engaging with An Garda Síochána (AGS) in relation to the re-opening of six Garda Stations. AGS has supplied the OPW with an outline of its accommodation requirements for five of the six stations. These outline accommodation briefs will facilitate OPW in carrying out the necessary surveys and assessments on the buildings and to draft scopes of work, including mechanical, electrical and communications services. Until agreed scopes of works are defined, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of the cost of re-opening.
The matter of the full-year running costs of Garda Stations, is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
