View answerWorks on Athlone Garda Station commenced in Q2 2018, the project included the refurbishment, extension and alteration of the existing An Garda Siochána Station to include the adjacent former Government Buildings and a new connection link between the two buildings. Works were completed in November, 2021. It was anticipated that the project would take 2 years to complete, however additional time was required due to a number of unforeseen delays arising from the discovery of Archaeology, the relocation of undocumented underground services and the construction site closures in accordance with Covid 19 Public Health measures. Discussions are ongoing with regard to the final account of the project.
