Contracts are being signed this morning which will bring a new Garda station for Clonmel a step closer.
Minister for the OPW Kevin Boxer Moran will officially sign documents bringing the long awaited project to the next stage.
A new state of the art station is to be built on part of the Kickham Barracks site in the town.
It follows years of promises for a new district HQ in the town amid fears that the current building on Emmet street is not fit for purpose and poses a serious fire safety risk.
It’s hoped that a new station will be up and running on the Kickham barracks site in 2020.
Tipperary Independant Deputy Michael Lowry says its been a long time coming
