133. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Justice the next stages for advancing Macroom’s new Garda station; if her Department has engaged with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on funding; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32466/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the construction of the new Garda station at Macroom is to proceed on the basis of a major Public Private Partnership (PPP) project which also includes the construction of a new Garda Station in Clonmel.
I am advised that planning permission for the new Garda station in Macroom has recently been approved.
An Garda Síochána continues to engage with my Department, the OPW and the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA), which is the procuring authority for PPPs, to progress this project which will include the tender process, contract agreement and construction, with a view to the tender process for this Garda PPP project commencing in 2022.
