As you will appreciate, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation and works in relation to Garda accommodation are progressed by the Garda authorities in close cooperation with the OPW. As Minister I have no role in such matters.
I have made enquiries with An Garda Síochána and I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the location of PEMS (Property & Exhibit Management System) stores located nationally by Garda Region and by Garda Division.
I am advised by An Garda Síochána that information on the capacity of (PEMS) stores is not readily available and would require a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources to compile.
