  415. Mr. Coveney asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when money will be made available for the upgrade of Ballyfeard Garda station, County Cork. [26922/04]

  Mr. McDowell:I have been informed by the Garda authorities that there is no application in hand for works to upgrade Ballyfeard Garda station.

Garda accommodation is kept under regular review to ensure that it meets the operational requirements of the Garda Síochána. Where it does not, the required refurbishment or construction work is carried out under the auspices of the Office of Public Works in accordance with overall priorities within the Garda building programme and the availability of financial and other resources.
