The fact is that the Garda Commissioner has responsibility for Garda accommodation. We provide the budget of almost €2 billion to An Garda Síochána and it is up to the Commissioner to decide the various investments and priorities across the country.

On this Garda station, a site was bought and it was decided not to move there. Instead, the existing building is being renovated and I understand that works are proposed to develop the remainder of the station. These works are being assessed between Garda estate management, local management and the Office of Public Works. As the scope of this work has not yet been finalised, we are not in a position to provide timelines or costs but there is continuous and ongoing improvement of the building.
