There are plans to address the inadequate Garda accommodation in Dunmanway. The Office of Public Works, which was until recently working towards the refurbishment of the existing, vacant, Garda station, has now indicated that it no longer favours pursuing this course. It has, however, suggested an alternative proposal which would involve a move away from the station's current temporary location to another location in the town. This proposal is currently being considered by the Garda authorities.
