547. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Justice if he will seek an update from the Garda Commissioner on the status of the plan to build a new garda station at Carndonagh, County Donegal. [15330/25]
View answerThe Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management of An Garda Síochána, including the addition of new facilities to the Garda estate. Works on the Garda estate are carried out in close cooperation between the Office of Public Works (OPW) and Garda management.
Under the National Development Plan, the Government is committed to investing significant levels of capital funding into An Garda Síochána to deliver a Garda station modernisation and refurbishment programme; to delivering strategic ICT and digitalisation projects; and to providing a modern, fit for purpose Garda fleet.
A new station for Carndonagh is on the Garda Capital Programme. Work is underway between An Garda Síochána and the OPW to identify a suitable site.
