I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive answer. It is great that the project is progressing at this rate. I am pleased the Minister of State has given a final date of summer 2019. I have tried to pin down the Minister on several occasions. Obviously, things were progressing. It is good the Department is moving towards the final point in this and I note the tender documents are being prepared. It would be assumed that relatively minor works remain to be done on the Garda station if the Minister of State envisages the handover taking place this summer. I hope that An Garda Síochána can staff the station at that stage. I will make a request to the Minister to provide extra Garda resources for north County Dublin, including extra Garda cars and the other resources that the Garda needs. There is no point having the Garda station reopened if there are not enough resources in place. I thank the Minister of State for the update. I appreciate it.
