The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation around the country is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána in consultation with the Garda representative associations. The programme is progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. Funding for capital works is a matter for the Office of Public Works and priorities, including Easkey, will be considered in the light of available resources and in the context of the Garda Accommodation Strategy which is currently being developed. In the interim, alternative accommodation arrangements have been made for the station party.
