The new Garda Station in Bailieboro will be completed by the end of this year.
Minister Kevin Boxer Moran confirmed that project will be completed in Q4 2025.
He said the date for the opening of the station is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána. The confirmation came about following a parliamentary question by local Minister Niamh Smyth on the issue.
The project for a new Garda Station includes the conservation of the existing former National Irish Bank building and the construction of a new three storey over basement building to the rear on a site located on the town’s main street. A significant portion of these works are now complete. The purchase of a neighbouring property by the Office of Public Works (OPW) allowed for the provision of extra secure parking spaces and safer processing of those being arrested.
Plans to facilitate this were approved by Garda Estate Management and the associated planning permission for these works was granted in September 2023. These works are progressing as part of the overall project.
