The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda stations is based on accommodation priorities which are established by An Garda Síochána. The programme is advanced in close co-operation with the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

I am advised that the necessary legal requirements are currently being finalised in respect of the acquisition of a premises for a new Garda station for Glanmire. In addition, I understand that the Office of Public Works is actively pursuing the arrangements to be made for the fit-out of the premises.
