Negotiations are ongoing with the HSE in regard to the procurement by the Office of Public Works of a site of approximately 2 acres for the construction of a new Garda Headquarters at Portlaoise.

The priority accorded to individual projects within the Garda Building Programme is a matter for An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

The construction of pre-engineered accommodation has recently been completed at Portlaoise, and this will relieve the accommodation deficiencies in the medium term.
