285 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Finance the number of sites identified in the Glanmire area of County Cork for the development of a new Garda station; when a decision will be made to identify a specific site for the development of the new station; and when planning will commence for that station. [9505/07]

The Commissioners of Public Works recently received 8 proposals following an advertisement placed both locally and nationally for a site for a new Garda Station in Glanmire. It is expected that an architectural assessment will take place soon. Should one of the sites be found to be suitable, the acquisition process will commence immediately. Design work on the new station will commence soon thereafter.
