I have set out the position with regard to the acquisition of a site for development of a new District Headquarters in Bailieborough in my answer to the Deputy's question of today's date (No. 18).

I am further advised that while the long term solution to the accommodation needs at Bailieborough are being progressed, Garda management is actively engaged with the OPW to improve, in the more immediate term, the working conditions at the existing station at Bailieborough and awaits proposals from the OPW in order to develop the matter further.
