Taoiseach Micheál Martin reopened the Fitzgibbon Street Garda station in Dublin city today, following the stations closure over a decade ago.

The 110-year-old period building has been unoccupied since it was shuttered in 2011, but was granted funding for redevelopment in 2017 following a series of recommendations.

Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station in Dublin has officially been re-opened after more than a decade, it was shut in 2011 as the State tried to save money during the crash.
