Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The deliberative process between An Garda Síochána and OPW to finalise proposals for the re-opening of Bawnboy Garda Station is on-going. Upon final 'sign-off' by An Garda Síochána, OPW will submit the necessary Part 9 planning application and progress the procurement of works required to re-open the Station, which it is expected will take place in 2019.
