Gardai Station To Be Given Over For Community use.
Local communities could be given use of closed gardai stations, it was confirmed yesterday.
Announced as the first closed Garda station leased to a local community was formally handed over in north Dublin, the Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Brian Hayes, said: “If any viable local proposals concerning the station are made from the community, I will consider this.”
As he handed over the keys of Finglas gardai station to Finglas Childcare Ltd, he said it was a perfect example of a common-sense approach to the use of the State’s existing portfolio.
Adding: “I am delighted to be here in Finglas this morning and this is an excellent example of finding a community use for a former Garda station.”
Mr Hayes was following up on an initiative he announced last December, whereby some of the 41 Garda stations earmarked for closure could be used for community activities or sold to individual gardaí.
