The refurbishment and upgrade of Newcastlewest Garda Station is included in the Capital Investment Plan 2016-2021, launched in October 2015 for An Garda Síochána. The Office of Public Works is currently progressing the delivery of all the projects listed in that plan.

OPW has received a Brief of requirements for a District Headquarter Station in Newcastlewest from An Garda Síochána and has carried out a feasibility study. OPW is currently progressing the appointment of a design team in order to further advance this project.
