I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Regrettably, this was not available in time and I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.

As I mentioned to the Deputy in my response to him on 24 June, with reference to the report on asbestos from 2016, I have been informed by An Garda Síochána that the OPW re-surveyed the 12 Garda Stations in early 2017 and was satisfied that works to remove asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were not necessary at that time. In all 12 cases there were either no ACMs detected, they had already been removed, or they were given a status of “manage in situ”, to be removed if works were planned that would disturb the ACMs.

As the Deputy will be aware, the programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation is progressed by An Garda Síochána and the Office of Public Works (OPW).
