Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Justice the cost to the OPW of providing electrical vehicle charging points in Garda stations in the Dublin metropolitan region, per station, in each of the past five years, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39003/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 347 and 348 together.
The Deputy has been provided with a response to these questions by the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, on 19 September in response to parliamentary questions 137 and 138 of that date.
The Deputy was informed that the provision of dog kennels at the homes of dog handlers in the past ten years was funded by An Garda Síochána, as was the cost of providing electrical vehicle charging points in Garda stations in the Dublin Metropolitan Region, per station, in each of the past five years. There was no cost to the OPW.
The OPW have a dedicated email address for members of the Oireachtas to send queries to, and it is of course open to the Deputy to contact the OPW directly at ministersoffice@opw.ie for further information.
