An Garda Síochána requested the Office of Public Works, OPW, to source additional accommodation in Bandon for a number of divisional teams which are being established in that area, namely, court presenters, duty and rostering management and protective services units. The OPW is liaising with An Garda Síochána to source a property solution to accommodate these units based on the brief of requirements received from the Garda, including both a review of existing State-owned properties in the area and a review of the wider local property market.

Representatives of the Office of Public Works and An Garda Síochána have visited those sites under active consideration. The OPW is now finalising a property assessment report, which identifies the available options. This will issue to An Garda Síochána for consideration shortly.
