3. Conversion of the existing garage into office space and

4. Maintenance works to the boundary wall.

1. The contract for restoration of the windows has been awarded and a pre-start meeting is due to be held in due course. Works are estimated to take 90 days to complete once works begin on-site.

2. The preparation of the tender package for the cell upgrade project is nearing completion. These works are expected to commence following completion of the window restoration works.

3. Plans for the conversion of the external garage to offices are currently with An Garda Síochána for approval. Once approved, it is anticipated that works will commence following the completion of the cell upgrade project.
