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 which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.

I understand that local Garda management have highlighted issues relating to the accommodation at both stations and have requested the Office of Public Works to provide an assessment of the works required and an estimated cost of same. Upon receipt of the assessment and associated costings from the Office of Public Works, the question of sanctioning the works will then be considered, having regard to the funding available.
