The criteria is fantastical.

My questions concern taxpayers' resources, which is not unrelated. It was mentioned on the last occasion in the context of Stepaside. Some 101 gardaí walked out earlier this week in Sligo. Mr. Michael Reilly, of the acting Commissioner's own good offices, condemned the station in October 2016. No remedial works have been carried out since. The debacle with the new Garda station continues. The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, said to me last night: "I am the Minister for Justice and Equality. It is not my responsibility to get a site for the station. Talk to the local authority and the chamber of commerce." This was despite the fact that his colleagues have announced sites. That aside, do Garda management appreciate that Sligo Garda station, in line with the report produced, has been condemned? It is not fit for use.
