The Commissioners of Public Works placed a contract for the conversion of a house to a Garda Station, at Dowra, County Cavan, in October 2004 in the amount of €104,568.34, including VAT. The works are complete and the station was handed over to the Garda Síochána in June 2005. The final account has not yet been finalised.

A report prepared in November 2003 outlined various options for the future of Dowra Garda station and an estimate of €300,000 was provided for the provision of temporary accommodation in association with the refurbishment of the original leased building.
