New Garda Station for Clonmel a step closer

The Tánaiste & Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has confirmed today that the new station at the Kickham barracks will go out to tender in the next few months.

Legal problems that have been delaying the development have been solved.

The Tánaiste came to Clonmel this morning and was given a tour of the current station on Emmet St to see for herself the conditions that local Gardai are working in.

Minister Fitzgerald says legal contracts for a Public Private Partnership to build the new premises at the old Kickham Barracks will be signed in the next few weeks.
