Following consultation between Garda management and the OPW, a site has been identified for the new Garda Station. The OPW is progressing the legal matters relating to the acquisition of the site and this process will be completed as soon as possible.

Until the site acquisition is completed, it is not possible to provide details of the site location. A formal announcement will be made when the process is completed.
