The Deputy is right to raise the importance of this particular station. I can confirm that plans are well advanced. As she knows, the current station is in poor condition. Some minimal upgrading work was done to allow the station to tide over until the new one is built. The OPW is currently in the process of purchasing a property with a view to building a new Garda station and that site has been identified. The Deputy might be aware of the property and I can confirm that with her, but unfortunately not here in the Dáil.

The purchase is being expedited and it is hoped that it will conclude shortly. Once the property is transferred the OPW will process the planning application under Part 9. However, the draft plans for the site have already been agreed.
