The Deputy will be aware that 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 have been informed by the Garda authorities that works in the amount of €58,784.35 have been sanctioned for the refurbishment of the public office at Swords Garda Station. Once completed, these works will improve both staff working conditions and facilities for members of the public.

I have also been informed that the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
