The Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation. Works in relation to Garda accommodation are therefore progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the OPW.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the refurbishment of Rush Garda Station has been substantially completed and that the OPW expect to be in a position to hand over the Garda Station in the coming weeks following connection to the electricity grid. After handover of the building by the OPW to An Garda Síochána, internal fit-out of the station, including ICT and furniture, will be required before the station can be reopened.
