I am advised by the Garda authorities that during the relevant period no expenditure was incurred by An Garda Síochána in respect of repairs to Kilalla Garda Station.

I am further advised that between 2009 and 2011 the Office of Public Works has separately undertaken refurbishment works at the station with a view to securing the overall fabric and integrity of the building, in the context of its property portfolio. I understand that the costs involved amounted to a total of approximately €52,700. The expenditure incurred on these works was provided from the Vote of the Office of Public Works.

The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation around the country is progressed by the Garda authorities working in close co-operation with the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that while there are currently no plans for upgrade works at Ballycastle Garda Station the on-going requirements of the station are being kept under review.
