The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána and progressed by the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

I have been advised by the Garda authorities that there are no plans to carry out refurbishment works at the existing Garda station referred to by the Deputy. However, local Garda management have identified a potential site for a new area headquarters station. The progression of the project is dependent on available resources and overall priorities determined by the Garda authorities.
