186. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the extent to which the various Garda stations throughout the country are in the course of refurbishment or replacement or scheduled for works; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23243/20]

The Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management and control of An Garda Síochána and for the effective and efficient use of Garda resources. Further, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.
Works in relation to Garda accommodation are therefore progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the OPW.
I have requested information from the Garda Commissioner in relation to this matter but it was unfortunately not possible to compile it in the time available.
I will write to the Deputy directly with the information requested, when it is available.
