I am informed by the Garda authorities that a sketch scheme for Athlone Garda District Headquarters is currently being finalised with the Office of Public Works. The scheme incorporates the existing Garda premises and the adjacent State owned site previously occupied by the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs.

The development of the project will be progressed having regard to the availability of capital funding.
