Garda Commissioner welcomes the development of a new garda station in Tipperary
Sod turned on Clonmel development
The Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Jim O’Callaghan and Minister of State for the Office of Public Works, Kevin Boxer Moran this morning turned the sod at the site of a new Garda Station in Clonmel.
The official ceremony, also attended by Assistant Commissioner Eileen Foster, officially marks the start of construction. The new Clonmel Garda station is expected to be completed in 2027.
The new station represents a major investment in policing, community safety and public infrastructure for the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division. It is central to delivering the Government’s commitment to build stronger, safer communities by strengthening An Garda Síochána, expanding resources, and modernising facilities to tackle crime.
Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly said:
“An Garda Síochána and our Garda personnel serving Clonmel are looking forward to the development of this new Station in Clonmel, which will aid us in continuing to keep people safe in south Tipperary.
“The new Garda Station will provide fit-for-purpose accommodation for Garda personnel delivering policing services for the area. The National Development Plan, recently updated by the Government, will fund An Garda Síochána’s Capital Programme, which will modernise important elements of our large estate. This project is a core element of the Capital Programme, and I look forward to its completion.”
