A notice seeking expressions of interest from property owners or developers wishing to provide sites for new facilities in the Tralee area for both An Garda Síochána and the Courts Service was advertised earlier this year. The Commissioners of Public Works are, at present, considering the proposals which were received in response to the advertisement, as well as a number of other options. It is anticipated that this process will be completed in the near future.

A revised sketch scheme for a new Garda Station at Castleisland was signed off by Garda Authorities in April 2007. A Part 9 planning process has commenced and the final date for receipt of submissions is 11th July 2007. It is hoped to invite tenders in October 2007.
