Sligo Garda headquarters

Summary

Deputy Feighan seeks clarity on the timetable for the agreed new Garda divisional headquarters in Sligo. The Taoiseach says he does not have the details but will ask the Minister for Justice to contact him.

A new Garda divisional headquarters has been agreed for Sligo but the timeframe for the start of the project remains unclear. A site in a very strategic part of Sligo town was purchased some years ago. This could provide an ideal location for other emergency services apart from a central Garda headquarters. Earlier this year, the then Minister for Justice announced a new divisional headquarters for Sligo had been agreed in principle by An Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice and that the necessary work to draft the preliminary business case required under infrastructure guidelines from the Department of public expenditure had commenced. Has this business case been completed? If not, when will it be completed?

I do not have the details on that matter. However, I will talk to the Minister for Justice and ask him if he can communicate with the Deputy in respect of it.
