A brief of requirements for the proposed new Garda Station in Buncrana was received from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform on 29th March, 2006. An Architectural Report is being prepared to determine if the brief of requirements can be accommodated on a portion of the decentralisation site for the Department of Social and Family Affairs. This report is virtually completed.

Question 201: To ask the Minister for Finance if he will ensure that the residents of lower Main Street, Buncrana, County Donegal will retain their right of way when the Garda station is sold. [19784/06]

I have been informed by the Commissioners of Public Works that there are no plans, at present, to sell the existing Garda Station in Buncrana.

Currently, no "right of way" exists on the State owned property at Buncrana Garda Station. The Commissioners understand that a local arrangement was given, by the local Garda Síochána, from time to time as a "gesture of goodwill" to the local residents.
