I am informed by the Garda authorities that maintenance works to the external lighting at the entrances to Inistioge Garda Station were carried out in April 2006.

Garda authorities inform me that no further application in respect of the external lighting has been received by the Garda Accommodation manager in respect of Inistioge since that time. However, any further requests for maintenance to the station will be dealt with under the Garda maintenance programme. The provision of public lighting in the area around the station is a matter for the local authority.
