Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation if he is satisfied that the windows in the cells in the Garda Station at Kells, County Meath meet all of the necessary standards; if he will set those standards out; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Office of Public Works is satisfied that the detention cell windows at Kells Garda Station meet the relevant standards.

Presently, two approved detention cell window suppliers manufacture and install detention cell windows in accordance these standards. Both of these window designs have been independently tested, using a 'Hard Body Impact Test'.

Both window designs meet the requirements of EN 14019, which is a standard relating to 'Impact Resistance'.
