The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána who work in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works, which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. I am advised by the Garda authorities that in due course it is planned to build a new station at Ballyvary and this is being considered in the context of the Garda Síochána's identified accommodation priorities and in the light of available resources. In the interim, arrangements for the provision of Garda station facilities at a premises in Ballyvary are being advanced and it is anticipated that this accommodation will be available in the near future.
