I propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 95 together.

The Commissioners of Public Works have advised me that the Office of Public Works (OPW) has been notified by two Local Authorities in relation to three sites placed on a vacant sites register in 2017.

Two sites identified by Dublin City Council at St. John’s Road/Military Road, which are in effect one site, were placed on the Council’s 2017 vacant sites register. The site is the location for the proposed new Garda Security and Crime Operations Centre and the notice was successfully appealed to An Bord Pleanála. A subsequent notice was issued by Dublin City Council in March 2018, to which the OPW has submitted a response for consideration by the Council.

The OPW has been notified that Kilkenny County Council has placed the former Garda station at Castlecomer, Co.Kilkenny on their vacant sites register. The property is under consideration in terms of its future State use or disposal.
