Clonmel Garda station
Deputy McGrath said Clonmel Garda station was unsafe and unfit for purpose and sought clarification on the promised announcement. The Tánaiste acknowledged the priority need to replace it and said she would ask the Minister to write directly.
The Tánaiste visited Clonmel Garda station in her role as Minister for Justice and Equality over ten weeks ago and made a commitment, which we welcome, that there will be an announcement in a number of weeks. We greatly appreciated that. Could she ask the current Minister for Justice and Equality to clarify the situation? I welcome to new Minister and wish him well. The gardaí in Clonmel cannot continue to work in those Dickensian conditions, which the Tánaiste saw herself. The station is a fire hazard. We are talking so much about fire. The station is not fit for purpose and we need a purpose-built Garda station.
