The Commissioners for Public Works expect to finalise the acquisition of a site at Roxborough for Wexford Garda Station before the end of February, 2007. It is expected that a sketch scheme for a new Divisional Headquarters will be ready in early 2007. On approval of the sketch scheme by the Garda Authorities a part 9 planning application will be initiated. Allowing for the completion of the planning process and the procurement process, it is expected that construction will commence within 12 months.
