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 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.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that significant refurbishment work on the station referred to by the Deputy has been completed. It is anticipated that the remaining works, which are minor in nature, will be completed in December 2008 at which time the refurbishment works will be complete.
