The Deputy will be aware that the gardaí attached to Dromad Garda station have, for stated health and safety reasons and as a temporary measure only, relocated to Hackballscross Garda station. I am advised by the Garda authorities that there will be no diminution of Garda services provided in Dromad.

I am assured that the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for such matters, are making every effort to urgently source and secure alternative accommodation for the Garda in the Dromad area which will allow them return at the earliest possible opportunity.
