The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána. The programme is progressed in co-operation with the Office of Public Works, who have responsibility for capital expenditure in respect of Garda accommodation.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that they are currently engaging with the Office of Public Works in relation to work to be carried out at the station referred to by the Deputy. In particular, I understand that the Garda authorities have prioritised the station for the purposes of the carrying out of a Universal Access Audit.
