The Commissioners of Public Works expect to finalise the acquisition of a site at Rocksborough for Wexford Garda station before the end of October 2006. Until their transaction has been concluded it would be inappropriate to disclose the purchase price. All services will be available on the site.

Following receipt of a brief of requirements from the Garda Síochána, appointment of a full design team which may involve an E.U. competition, approval to a Sketch Scheme, Part 9 planning process and tender competition for construction, work should commence on site at the end of 2007/beginning of 2008.
