The Deputy will be aware that the Office of Public Works has primary responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation and, as Minister, I have no direct role in relation to these matters.

The position remains as outlined in my response to Parliamentary Question No. 194 of 17 January 2017, wherein I indicated that a site has been identified for the proposed new Garda Station and that the OPW is progressing the legal matters relating to the acquisition of the site.
