I propose to take Questions Nos. 165 and 166 together.

The new Garda, Security and Crime Operations Centre at Military Road, was subject to a planning process under Part 9 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended). The project is being developed in accordance with the planning approved received in August 2018.

The Office of Public Works has not carried out a security assessment on Garda Buildings at Harcourt Street. The Office of Public Works can however confirm that works were carried out in 2018 and 2019 to the Garda Buildings at Harcourt Street, which included the tinting of a limited number of windows identified by An Garda Síochána.

The cost of the tinting cannot be ascertained at this time as the works were included as part of larger works carried out at the complex.
