I join the speakers who expressed sympathy following the horror and human tragedy in Orlando.

The specific issue I wish to raise is Mr. Justice O'Higgins's report. The report which is excellent has generated an enormous amount of coverage on all national media, including social media. That is reasonable, given that it is a huge and important report. One element, however, that has received no coverage is very important for Garda morale, well-being and the provision of a Garda service. The Garda station is identified by Mr. Justice O'Higgins as being an old RIC station from 1870, to which a flat roofed area was added around 1970. The judge uses terms in the report such as "not fit for purpose", "deplorable conditions" and "not sound" to provide Garda services. He says that while it is not the only reason there were problems, it was a huge contributing factor. It is a relevant issue for the Leader to address. Perhaps he might get a response from the relevant Ministers on what will be done about accommodation for gardaí in Bailieborough. In the previous Oireachtas I lobbied the relevant Ministers - former Deputy Alan Shatter and Deputies Frances Fitzgerald and Simon Harris - intensely. I am aware that a site has been acquired for a new Garda station and that the legal procedures are ongoing. Will the Leader find out whether that process has concluded and if there is a timeframe for when the new station in Bailieborough will be built?

It is a regional headquarters, of which this is an important element. I will provide the Leader with the relevant pages of the O'Higgins report which chronicles all of the deplorable conditions in five pages, including the various rooms that are not available and reception areas. I do not propose to read it, but I will hand it to the Leader later. The situation is chronic and immediate action is required. I need to know that there is a commitment that the legalities in acquiring the site which I gather is imminent have been concluded and that there is a timeframe for building the station.
