Mr. Seán Murphy:

We have received a report from the OPW on the condition of Sligo Garda station, and contrary to the report of Mr. Reilly which the Deputy referred to, the OPW does not accept that the building is unsafe and does not agree that the building is unfit for occupation. That is not to say that remedial and upgrade works are not required in Sligo Garda station. They are undoubtedly required, and we have tabled proposals with Garda managment. We want to have an inclusive process with the associations and agree those proposals to remediate the station along the lines that Mr. Barrett has mentioned.
