95. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reasons the Office of Public Works is refusing Kerry County Council permission to locate a recycling bring bank on the site of a Garda Station (details supplied) in County Kerry which is jointly owned by the OPW and the Gardaí, in view of the fact that the Gardaí have no objections themselves; if he facilitating the granting of permission, as this site is the only suitable location for such a facility according to Kerry County Council.

The Garda station site in Ardfert, County Kerry includes a Garda residential property adjacent to the Garda station. While the residence is currently unoccupied any decision to facilitate the bottle bank at this location would impact negatively on future occupants of the residence. In addition, there are security concerns with placing a bottle bank adjacent to a Garda station.
