The primary objective of the telecommunications mast adjacent to Letterkenny Garda Station, and all Garda masts, is to facilitate the services and activities of An Garda Síochána.

There are three mobile phone operators licensed by the Commissioners of Public Works to install equipment, for the provision of mobile telephony services, on the mast at Letterkenny Garda Station. These licences generate a gross annual revenue of €27,500 approximately.
