I acknowledge the need for new Garda stations at Macroom and Clonmel. It is my intention to have both projects commence at the earliest possible opportunity next year. There are some outstanding conveyancing issues with this bundle of stations, but I expect them to be dealt with in the coming weeks. My intention is that the next bundle of Garda stations will commence construction in the course of 2018 under a public private partnership arrangement.
