I thank the Minister. I am delighted to see that Bailieborough Garda station is a top priority for him. It is important not just for Bailieborough but for the entire region, which includes Cavan, Monaghan and Louth. Members of the Garda in east Cavan have had to put up with deplorable facilities up to this point, working out of Portakabins in a building that is really not fit for purpose. It is really welcome. My expectation is that we will open doors there in the fourth quarter of this year. The Minister might confirm that. That is all that I want to say under this Vote. I will keep an eye on that and look forward to having the Minister come to open it.
