The Tánaiste visited Clonmel Garda station in her role as Minister for Justice and Equality over ten weeks ago and made a commitment, which we welcome, that there will be an announcement in a number of weeks. We greatly appreciated that. Could she ask the current Minister for Justice and Equality to clarify the situation? I welcome to new Minister and wish him well. The gardaí in Clonmel cannot continue to work in those Dickensian conditions, which the Tánaiste saw herself. The station is a fire hazard. We are talking so much about fire. The station is not fit for purpose and we need a purpose-built Garda station.
