I propose to take Questions Nos. 93 and 97 together.

I can confirm that the Office of Public Works (OPW) received an enquiry from local Gardaí about developing the parking facilities at the Garda Station in question.

All requests for capital works at Garda Stations must be approved by Garda Estate Management (GEM) of An Garda Síochána and funding confirmed before they can be scheduled by OPW for delivery. At present, the OPW regional office is assisting local Garda management in developing and costing a proposal for consideration by GEM.
