559 Deputy James McDaid asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the situation regarding the new Garda station at Buncrana County Donegal. [25248/07]

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that plans for the new Garda station in Buncrana are well advanced. Contracts for additional land for the new station are being processed by the Chief State Solicitors Office and tenders for the provision of the new building are currently being evaluated by the Office of Public Works. It is expected that work will commence as soon as contracts have been put in place.
