I have been informed by the Garda authorities that there are five gardaí residing in official accommodation in four separate Garda stations, including Clane, Kilcullen, Newbridge and Ballitore. I understand that work commenced recently to provide garage accommodation at the Clane station.

Garda accommodation is kept under regular review to ensure that it meets the operational requirements of the Garda Síochána. Where it does not, the required refurbishment or construction work is carried out under the auspices of the Office of Public Works in accordance with overall priorities within the Garda building programme and the availability of financial and other resources.
