On a point of order-----

There are no points of order.

The programme for Government, at pages 96 and 97, talks of the refurbishment and provision of new stations which are "critical to delivering effective policing". I could not agree more. As Deputy Micheál Martin stated earlier, there is a serious issue in the regional Garda station in Sligo where an assistant commissioner sits.

We dealt with that.

We have had a debate here previously about the provision of a site for a new Garda station. Before one gets a new Garda station, what is the Government doing about the existing one? A commitment was given in October 2016, when it was condemned by the Garda's own health and safety adviser, to take remedial action. That has not happened. Yesterday, 101 gardaí walked out. They will not be going back. I am reliably informed the AGSI members are likely to do the same. Is Deputy Flanagan really a Minister in government telling me we are having problems selecting a site? I made an offer to the Minister here previously. If the Minister wants someone to get him a site, if he is not capable of doing it, I will get it for him but we must have a functional Garda station in Sligo that we do not have at present.

It has already been debated. It is a matter for a Topical Issue debate or a parliamentary question, unless the Minister wants to respond briefly.

It is down for Topical Issues.

I welcome Deputy MacSharry's interest in the matter and I would be happy to engage with him bilaterally.

Deputy McLoughlin on the same issue. Ministers may then offer it.

The sooner the better. The Minister had the offer two weeks ago in here.

On the issue highlighted by Deputy MacSharry, I have tabled two Topical Issues matters here, one taken by the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, and one by the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, as well as five parliamentary questions. The Office of Public Works is near completion of its work in relation to a site. This is the route that we have got to take to ensure that we get this site announced as quickly as possible.

But Deputy McLoughlin announced a new Garda station in 2015.

Deputy MacSharry-----

That is three years ago.

Calm down.

Would Deputy MacSharry hold on for a minute now? There is somebody else here who has more information than Deputy MacSharry will ever have in that regard.

I hope the people in Sligo are listening.

The Minister for Justice and Equality, in 2015-----

They are anxious to get all the information Deputy McLoughlin has.

A public private partnership plan for 2017 to 2021 is the plan on which we are working, whereby we will have the site for the new Garda regional headquarters in Sligo.

In 2021; a new announcement.

The Minister, Deputy Flanagan, indicated that he will engage.

Once again, for the third time in the past half hour, I am most reluctant now to enter into the crossfire between two local Deputies on this issue but I would be happy to meet them.
