Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion
Peter Fitzpatrick (Louth, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I have asked the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, many times about the upgrading of Dromad Garda station on the Border. It will play a vital role, regardless of whether Brexit goes ahead. Does Mr. Harris have an update? I know that the Garda station was bought a number of years ago. It is located just off the motorway. Given how Dundalk has grown so rapidly in recent years, with the extra resources, it is nearly impossible to find a parking space close to the Garda station if one has to visit it. We received a commitment from the Minister that he would release funds to upgrade the Garda station. The Border is completely open. If Dromad Garda station was to be upgraded, it would make a significant difference to the area.
