Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
286. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the current status and estimated completion time for the new Garda station at Clonmel, County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50054/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Garda project for Clonmel designed by OPW has Planning Permission for some time. The Clonmel project is part of a wider PPP combining another Garda project in Macroom and the proposed new Family Courts project in Dublin. The Macroom Garda project also has Planning Permission. The Family Courts project is presently being developed with the Court Service. When approved the scheme will be submitted for planning. The projects that make up the combined Garda and Court PPP must all be at the same level of development before they can go to market. Therefore the Garda projects need the Family Court project to have Planning Permission in order to progress. It is hoped that the Family Court will be submitted to planning in Q1 2023.
