The divisional headquarters for the Louth-Meath Garda division will be relocated at Dundalk station as soon as the necessary accommodation is made available there, which is expected to be in the very near future. The divisional officer has been based at Dundalk since his appointment in May 1988 and the relocation of the divisional office is expected to involve the transfer of at least two sergeants, eight gardaí and two clerical assistant posts.
