An Garda Síochána has informed the Office of Public Works (OPW) that they have no immediate plans for any refurbishment or upgrade works at Castlepollard Garda Station. It is not included on their Capital Investment Programme 2023-2030.

The OPW recently carried out minor damp proofing and dry-rot treatment works in the Station and there are minor fabric maintenance works scheduled for this year. An EV Charger was installed in December 2023 and it was fully commissioned in January 2024.

Castlepollard Garda Station is a protected structure with restrictions on the adaptation of the fabric of the existing building. The OPW are currently reviewing accessibility to identify universal access improvements.
