The Commissioners of Public Works await confirmation of title from the vendor for the strip of land which it is proposed to purchase at the rear of the Garda Station in Dunmanway. This strip of ground is essential if redevelopment of the existing Garda Station is to proceed.

In the meantime, the Commissioners have decided, in consultation with the Department of Justice, Equality & Law Reform, to advertise both nationally and locally for a greenfield site in Dunmanway. The advertisement is expected to be published shortly.
