In respect of Glenties Garda station and its former status as a district headquarters for the area, it should be noted that the designation of these stations is a matter for the deputy commissioner, in conjunction with the local district and divisional officers, having regard to the policing requirements of Glenties and the surrounding communities. I can however confirm that the Garda building and refurbishment programme includes the full upgrade and refurbishment of the Garda station in Donegal town. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the Office of Public Works, OPW, has advised that the tender documents are being prepared and it is expected that this project will be tendered in autumn of this year.
