I propose to take Questions Nos. 358 and 360 together.

The project for a new Garda Station at Bailieborough, Co. Cavan includes conservation of the existing former National Irish Bank building and the construction of a new three storey over basement building to the rear on a site located on the town’s main street. A significant portion of the works have been completed to date.

The purchase of a neighbouring property by the Office of Public Works (OPW) allows the provision of extra secure parking spaces and safer processing of those being arrested. Plans to facilitate this were approved by Garda Estate Management and Planning Permission for the works was granted in September 2023.

The project is funded in full by An Garda Síochána and the total cost of the project, including construction costs, design team fees, contingency, percent for art, VAT etc., is expected to be circa €18.69m.

It is expected that all works will be completed in Q4 2025 and thereafter An Garda Síochána (AGS) will commence occupation of the building. The opening of the station for operations is a matter for AGS.
