Mr. Joseph Nugent:

Yes. Even if the site was provided to us tomorrow and the money was made available to us, there would still be a multi-year delivery.

I am very conscious of the extremely cramped conditions in Coolock. The Deputy will appreciate that the members in the area are working in tough conditions in comparison to stations elsewhere. I do not dismiss the fact that gardaí in other areas, Swords for example, have similar issues. There are stations around the country where there are extraordinary pressures and they will feature in the context of our examination of the next round of estate proposals. I just want to be honest about setting expectations. That said, Dublin City Council has been very helpful and having access to a site is a very helpful position for us to be in so that were the funds to be provided to us, we could certainly move far more quickly into such a location than if we had to start looking for a site elsewhere.
