Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Dr. Shawna Coxon:

We have a list of projects we are looking at for this year that are progressing. They are in Macroom, Clonmel, Newcastle West, Bailieborough and Portlaoise. We are looking at future-proofing larger projects as well, as the Deputy discussed, and a good example of that would be in Tallaght. We make an application and say what we would like or that we would like to be involved, particularly in areas that are growing. We consider An Garda Síochána to be critical infrastructure, just as a school or hospital would be, so we want to be in those spaces where we know there is going to be a future need. At that point, we then work with our partners-----
