Refurbishment to begin on Garda Station in Tipp

Tipperary Sinn Féin TD Martin Browne has been informed that refurbishment works on Cashel Garda Station are due to begin in the coming weeks, and that the Old Motor Tax Office, on Friar Street, Cashel will be used as a temporary location in the meantime.

Teachta Browne said: “I welcome confirmation of arrangements for Cashel Town Garda Station during renovation works.

“I have been informed that the Office of Public Works will be overseeing refurbishment works on the station which are due to commence in the coming weeks.

“The works are scheduled to be completed by next summer. The Old Motor Tax Office, Civic Offices, Friar Street, Cashel will be the temporary location for the station while these works take place.

“These works will be welcome, as our gardai need a more suitable environment in which to work. I have also been informed of planned regular opening hours of Monday 1.30pm-4pm, Wednesday 1.30pm-4pm, Friday 8am-1pm. Any changes to those hours will be updated on the An Garda Síochána Tipperary Facebook Page.

“I would prefer longer opening hours I will continue to make the case for an extension to these hours.

“I have been making regular enquiries on this and will continue to raise the matter with the Minister for Justice."
