I am keen that progress be reported on this issue. I acknowledge the Deputy's interest in the Garda station in Clonmel, along with others. I had the opportunity to visit the existing Garda station and I agree that it needs to be replaced.

The new bundle of public private partnerships for Garda stations has been announced. The Government is committed to ensuring that the bundle, among which is the Clonmel Garda station, will be completed. A number of legal and technical difficulties are outstanding. My officials, together with officials in the Office of Public works and the local authorities, are keen to resolve this with a view to ensuring there will be people on site next year.
