The pre-qualification procedures for the Main Contractor and Reserved Specialists is ongoing during the current Covid-19 restrictions.  We expect this to be completed early in Quarter 3, 2020.  It is also hoped that tender documentation will issue later in Quarter 3 2020, with a Contract expected to be in place before the end of 2020.  Construction work will take approx. 18 months to complete.

Emyvale Garda Station was badly damaged by an arson attack in October 2019 and the existing station was demolished. 

The Office of Public Works, working with Án Garda Siochána, identified that the former Married Quarters in Emyvale can meet the operational accommodation requirements as an interim measure.  The planning process to facilitate this was commenced earlier this year.

The funding for these and any futures works in Emyvale is a matter for the Department of Justice and Equality and Án Garda Siochána.
