The Commissioners of Public Works expect to finalise the acquisition of a site at Roxborough for Wexford Garda Station in the coming weeks. It would be inappropriate to disclose the purchase price before the legal formalities have been completed.
A sketch scheme is in preparation for the new Divisional Headquarters. On approval of the sketch scheme by the Garda Authorities, a Part 9 planning consultation will be initiated. Allowing for the completion of the planning process, the tender documents and the procurement process, it is expected that construction would commence within twelve months.
