I propose to take Questions Nos. 159 and 161 together.
The Commissioners of Public Works have advised me that the following table sets out, by county, the number of residences under the remit of the Office of Public Works (OPW) that are currently available to An Garda Síochána for official accommodation.
The Commissioners further advise that the occupancy and assignment of these residences is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána.
