I have been informed by the Garda authorities that it is proposed to replace this station with a basic unit type facility. The existing station is considered to be non-viable for repair and it is proposed to include it in the equity exchange programme. Following an earlier pilot scheme when the level of interest expressed was not adequate to meet the requirements of the programme, I understand that the Commissioners of Public Works are now considering alternative approaches. In the interim, the question of the provision of alternative temporary accommodation is being explored.
