As the Deputy is aware, the construction of the new Garda stations in Macroom and Clonmel is to proceed on the basis of a major SMART Public Private Partnership (PPP) project. 

Planning permission for the new Garda stations in Macroom and Clonmel has been approved.

The OPW continues to engage with the Department of Justice, An Garda Síochána and the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA), which is the procuring authority for PPPs, to progress these projects.  The tender process for this Garda SMART PPP projects is expected to commence in 2023.
