The Office of Public Works (OPW) has leased new premises for Ramelton Garda station.
Minister Charlie McConalogue said he received the confirmation today and that it will be located at Castle Street.
“The OPW has noted that the leased premises will need renovation before it can be used as a Garda station,” he said.
A design team is currently working on design for fit-out of the station. The OPW and An Garda Siochána will continue to work together to complete the design phase and to move to tender stage for the project this year.
“This is tremendous news for the people of Ramelton and surrounds,” Minister McConalogue added.
“Policing is essential in Donegal and proper infrastructure for our Garda is crucial for maintaining strong community policing in our rural communities. Senator Niall Blaney, Cllr Liam Blaney and I have been working with the OPW and my government colleague Patrick O’Donovan TD, Minister with responsibility for the OPW, and the Garda, for some time to make sure that a fit for purpose station is secured for Ramelton. I’m glad that this will be coming to fruition soon.”
