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 (OPW), which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. As Minister I have no direct role in these matters.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that Freshford Garda Station, Kilkenny was not included in the Garda Station Rationalisation Programmes of 2012 or 2013, and therefore remains an operational Garda Station.
