The Capital Investment Plan includes plans which involve the construction of new Garda stations in eight locations, major refurbishment of existing stations and facilities, essential remedial works to certain Garda properties, upgrading and modernising prisoner detention areas to meet current and emerging health, safety and human rights compliance requirements and developing property and evidence material stores.
