The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024. Works on the Estate are undertaken by the OPW in cooperation with the Garda Authorities. This includes identifying and progressing any provisions for new stations or upgrading works. As Minister, I have no direct role in such matters.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that there are currently no approved plans in place to carry out works at this station however I am informed that a business case, proposing the renovation and strategic repurposing of Glantane Garda Station, has been submitted to Garda Estate Management.
