The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána and progressed by the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. I am advised by the Garda Authorities that a sketch scheme has been agreed for the refurbishment of the building referred to by the Deputy. The refurbishment works will include the reorganisation of the public office and reception area, the upgrading of the cells to current standards and the construction of an external ramp. The project will proceed in the context of the Garda Síochána's identified accommodation priorities and in the light of available resources.
