I am aware of the Garda accommodation difficulties existing in Dunmanway.
There are plans to refurbish and extend the Garda station there, and to that end the Office of Public Works is endeavouring to acquire a small piece of land to the rear of the station to allow access to the site and commencement of the project. Until that has been done, the Deputy will appreciate that it is not possible to give a time scale for the project.
There will be no avoidable delay in addressing the accommodation needs of the gardaí at Dunmanway.
