Ballincollig Garda Station is on the priority list of the Garda Building Programme for 2009. Under the Capital Works Management Framework, all public sector construction projects are required to be carried out under the new form of contract. It is necessary, therefore, to re-tender construction projects, such as Ballincollig Garda Station, which has been tendered under the previous GDLA form of contract and where no contractual commitment had been entered into, utilising the new form of construction contract.

Accordingly, the tender documents for Ballincollig Garda Station are being re-calibrated to the new form at present. The award of a contract will be subject to the availability of funding and the priority afforded to the project by An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
