The Programme for Government included for a ‘pilot programme of Garda Station re-openings’ throughout the country, including Rush Garda Station, Co. Dublin. OPW undertook technical surveys on the building and issued a report on the works required, indicative costs involved and proposed layout to An Garda Síochána (AGS).

Following receipt of AGS final agreement to proposed plans, the Office of Public Works arranged the undertaking of the works. These works were completed and the Station was handed over to An Garda Síochána on 31st March, 2020.

The operation of the Station is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
