asked the Minister for Finance when a new Garda station will be provided at Lucan, County Dublin; and the interim steps he intends to take to rectify the poor condition of the existing one.

It is not yet possible to say when a new Garda Station will be provided at this centre.

A scheme of maintenance items and improvements to the existing station is at present in progress and a further scheme of redecoration will be undertaken in the very near future.
