452 Deputy Brendan Kenneally asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if asbestos has been found in a building under renovation (details supplied) in County Donegal; if this has caused the suspension of the project; if same will involve a higher cost for the overall project, making it even less of an economically appropriate measure for the overall need; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The programme of refurbishment of Garda accommodation is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána. This programme is brought forward in close co-operation with the Office of Public Works, which has the responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. I regret that the information requested by the Deputy is not readily to hand. I will write to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
