The refurbishment of the existing historic stable yard buildings providing working stables and associated rooms for the tack and feed etc. was carried out between 1998 and 2000, including accommodation for the Garda Mounted Unit. The Unit was opened on 19^thDecember, 2000.

The Garda Mounted Unit paddocks were refurbished in 2022. This involved the supply and installation of new fencing, posts and gates and the removal of the existing fencing.

The Office of Public Works is currently engaged with An Garda Síochána in relation to the provision and installation of a shed at the paddock area and the provision and installation of a covered lunge area with lighting for all weather use.
