asked the Minister for Home Affairs if the Commissioners of Public Works have come to a decision as to the reconstruction of the old Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks, Mullin gar, with a view to providing suitable accommodation for the Gárda Síochána?

Enquiries by the Commissioners of Public Works as to whether any suitable accommodation for the Gárda Síochána can be rented in Mullingar are being continued, and in the event of such rented premises not being obtainable, steps will be taken with a view to the restoration of the old Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks for use as a Gárda Síochána Station.
