I propose to take Questions Nos. 41 and 75 together.

A sketch scheme to accommodate a new Garda Station, Courthouse and other facilities on the existing Garda Station site will be completed by the end of May 2008. It will then be submitted to the Garda Authorities and Courts Service for consideration and approval. The procurement methodology for this major project has not yet been determined and it is not possible at this early stage to provide an accurate timescale for commencement and completion. It will be a matter for the Garda Commissioner what number of Gardaí will be assigned to the new station.
