The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is progressed by the Garda Authorities working in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works (OPW), which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

I am advised by the Garda Commissioner that significant refurbishment work was carried out to the public office, and a new cell block constructed, in Coolock Garda Station in 2012. Since that work was completed, local Garda management has identified further accommodation issues at Coolock Garda Station and An Garda Síochána is currently liaising with the OPW in relation to addressing these issues.
