I have been informed by the Garda authorities that extensive refurbishment and redevelopment work is to be carried out to Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station and this work may take a number of years to complete. The Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision of Garda accommodation, is currently seeking temporary accommodation in which to relocate Gardaí in order for this major redevelopment to take place. An Garda Síochána and the Office of Public Works are also working together to plan the extent of the works to take place and until this process has been completed it is not possible to give an indication of the date the works will commence and their expected duration. I am assured by the relevant parties that there will be no avoidable delay in progressing this project.
