The Deputy will appreciate that properties which were formerly used as Garda stations are the responsibility of the Office of Public Works and I, as Minister, have no function in relation to the manner in which they are managed.

I understand that the former station at Walsh Street, Ballina has been returned to, and is now under the control of, the Office of Public Works and that the current Garda Station in Ballina, which was opened in 2005, is located on Lord Edward Street.
