467. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Justice if her Department will obtain a status update from the Office of Public Works on the acquisition of a site for a proposed Garda station in an area (details supplied). [46049/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. Works in relation to Garda accommodation are progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the OPW.
I understand that there is ongoing engagement between Dublin City Council, OPW and An Garda Síochána in respect to a new Garda development on Dublin City Council lands at the corner of the R139 and Malahide Road at Northern Cross.
The Northern Cross project, will be one of the most significant Garda Building investments in the National Development Plan 2021 - 2030, and is considered a strategic and priority project by my Department and An Garda Síochána.
