The Office of Public Works (OPW) is currently assessing the property options arising in respect of the recently closed Garda Station in Castletownshend, County Cork.

This assessment will include other potential State uses for the property. If the property is considered surplus to requirements, the OPW will consider options including disposal on the open market and consideration of any viable local proposals in the matter.
