The Office of Public Works (OPW) confirmed to The Clare Herald today that it intends carrying out improvement works at Quin Garda Station. The OPW is proposing to carry out alterations and additions to the building in two phases. The first phase will involve modifications to the vehicular and pedestrian entrances, as well as works to replace the existing windows and doors throughout. Due to the nature of these works, it will be necessary to submit proposals for a formal planning consultation with Clare County Council. It is expected that the planning process will commence in the next two weeks and, subject to its approval, it is envisaged that a contractor will be on site by February 2008.
Phase two will comprise repairs to the Garda Station. Funding for the proposed repairs has now been sanctioned by the Garda Authorities. Phase two will commence shortly after Phase one.
