I propose to take Questions Nos. 154 and 160 together.

The Commissioners of Public Works have identified a number of sites in Castleisland for a new Garda station on behalf of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The acquisition of a suitable site will depend on an acceptable price being reached with the vendor, the priority accorded to Castleisland by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and availability of sufficient funds to complete the purchase.
