OPW technical staff have reviewed the independent report and are considering options in conjunction with local Garda management. In addition OPW is currently considering all options available regarding the acquisition of a suitable site for the construction of a new Garda Station in Sligo town and possible short term office accommodation to allow for the transfer of non operational staff from the station.
