Plans Considered For 24-Hour Garda Station At Citywest Site

Thursday, 30 October 2025 12:26

By Martin Osborne - Head Of News

At the moment, in nearby Rathcoole, residents have a Garda station that does not operate at full-time capacity.

The Department of Justice is considering handing an area of the newly acquired Citywest site to Gardaí.

Following a meeting with local representatives this week, a recommendation has been made for a 24-hour Garda station on the grounds.

It follows recent violence and demonstrations in the area.

At present, Rathcoole’s Garda station does not operate on a full-time schedule.

It also lacks interview rooms and holding cells.
