I propose to take Questions Nos. 121 and 124 together.

Prior to the decision being taken by Government in December 2011 that Loughglynn Garda Station is to be closed, the Commissioners of Public Works had awarded contracts for maintenance works, consisting primarily of asbestos removal and the replacement of windows, in September 2011.

The expenditure to date is as follows:

On completion of the electrical works and the asbestos removal works further expenditure of €37,750 approx., is expected.

No decision has yet been taken as to the future of this property when vacated by An Garda Síochána. I have asked my Office to set out on a case by case basis the potential uses for this and other Garda properties. I have an open mind as to their future use.
