To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the names of all Garda stations within urban centres with populations in excess of 20,000 persons which are not capable of holding prisoners due to the cells being condemned and below legal standards within the regulations which govern persons in custody.

The Deputy will appreciate 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 responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. This includes identifying and progressing any necessary remedial or refurbishment works required at individual stations and I, as Minister, have no role in these matters.
With respect to the Deputy's specific query, I have requested the information sought and will revert to the Deputy when I have it to hand.
