I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 501 of 8 November 2005, which set out the current position with regard to the proposed new Garda station for Leixlip. The Office of Public Works, taking into account constraints such as architecture and available space, will incorporate the requested changes into its plans. These changes and the manner in which they have been incorporated into the plans will have to be signed off by the Garda authorities. I can assure the Deputy that this process will be progressed with due urgency. The Deputy will appreciate my reluctance on security grounds to enter into the public record details of the internal layout of this or any other Garda station or premises.
