AGS are currently preparing a brief of requirements and a business case for a new Garda Station in the Laytown area. The OPW will seek a suitable site for a new Garda Station in the Laytown area when the Business Case process is complete and the long term requirements of An Garda Síochána in the area are confirmed.

A Business Case is required to comply with the provisions of Public Spending Code where it is considered that the acquisition of a property is required. It is the responsibility of the Sponsoring Agency, in this case An Garda Síochána, to prepare this Business Case. An Garda Síochána are preparing an initial Business Case for nine sites throughout the country, including Laytown.
