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 cooperation with the Office of Public Works (OPW), which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

In that context, I am advised that proposals for refurbishment works at Newcastle West Garda Station are currently being examined. These proposals will be progressed in the context of An Garda Síochána's identified accommodation priorities and the availability of funding within the vote of the Office of Public Works.
