The scaffolding referred to by the deputy was erected due to safety concerns arising from storm damage to part of the building. Various surveys and investigations were necessary to assess the damage and it was concluded that the building should be demolished and replaced. In order to do so alternative temporary facilities were required to be put in place in advance of any demolition. These facilities are scheduled to be handed over to An Garda Síochána for occupation this week and the demolition works will commence shortly thereafter.
